Hello again, sweetheart -
Another day gone by - and tomorrow's Wednesday - two more week till we see each other again - And believe it or not I think I've decided what to give everyone for Christmas except Wava, I even know what I'm going to give you - And I don't think you can guess -
Your letter was not screwy it was very sweet - I'm sorry about your eyes and the silly old fog - It had best not happen again - I felt all right Monday but I should have - not driving 125 miles - It's just about 5 more months now. Guess Bot was pretty good to win in the Bowling and I will try to find out when he is getting married - if and when I see him.
I was certainly ambitious last night - finished a towel - fixed a clove apple and even knitted a little bit - But as I've said before - it's best to get things done when I'm in the mood or I don't get them done at all. - I am anxious to work on my rug again, but want to get the Christmas stuff finished first - Then watch the rug grow-
Gotta hurry cause Paul is going to mail this for me - Celorie called today from Bakersfield - and we all listened in. It seems that Mrs. "C" is ill and they'll be there for almost a week -
Wow, seems as if you have a job being there all the time while the fellows take their physical - Tell anyone I know "hello" - or something if you see them-
Goodbye now - and remember me - as I love you -

Hello, sweet -
Hope you didn't mind too much not getting a letter from me today - it doesn't happen very often - had a little project to finish for Mr. Couch last night after dinner, and when that was finished, took several of the kids here at the boarding house out to the Ice Coliseum, so really didn't have too much spare time - by the way, I was kinda disappointed yesterday at not getting a letter from you, but two of them came today so now I am happy -
So you have the Xmas situation well under control - that is good news - by that time I will be pretty curious as to what you are getting me, but I suppose it won't be much good to ask now - However, I have gone you one better - I actually went down yesterday and bought your gift, and if I do say so myself it is really beautiful, and you won't guess what it is either - I certainly hope these next two weeks pass quick, so I can surprise you - that is, if I do-
Have been working fairly hard this week - Mr. Couch is at home with the flu, so I took some papers out to him to sign this afternoon and we sat around and talked for a while after that - Oh yes, I have to work tomorrow nite too - they are giving some physical exams for the draft and I will be on hand to see how it works - the first time should be pretty interesting -
Am going down to the morgue tonight and beat Hill in some ping-pong - guess Von will be there too - By the way, guess who Von is taking out nowadays - Dotty Lou Hanan, who is up here going to business college or something - he took her out Monday and has a date with her Saturday, so maybe it's a romance - he never could stay away from the Alpha Chis anyway, and after all, that's a pretty good idea anyway -
Had lots of fun skating again last night - am really getting pretty fair now - I hope - saw Marionbeth Wolfendon out there - besides several other Oregon kids -
Gosh darn it, cant wait to see you - and it's still two weeks - you know - it's getting harder and harder waiting for these weekends when I can see you - wish something could be done about it, but guess I will just have to be patient and just keep thinking about you - and how much I love you -
Bill
Hello again sweet -
Another day gone by - And tomorrow is Thursday - Boy it has certainly been freezing weather here - And we went steaming down the hiway today - You see Jezzy froze up a little last night - but nothing serious happened - And it's freezing again tonight only I completely drained the car - I got your Christmas present today!!! - And a couple others - In fact most of my shopping is done - Thank goodness - cause it's costing me more than I thot it would - but it's fun - It's a good thing I'm not down town every day or I would be much more in debt than I am - Will be finished very soon with my knitting and then I can start on my rug again in earnest -
Got mom an awful pretty blouse - maybe next spring she'll get a nice suit to wear it with -
The super varsity are playing tonight - but guess I'm not going - My nose sure gets red these days - the circulation must be awfrul poor - Will probably turn into an apple one of these days - We've got another box at the office - and they're really good - we've got them in the woodshed where they'll keep cool. I ate 3 great big ones this afternoon -
Goodbye now dear and lots of kisses - Merry Christmas -
Lots of love
Dotty

Marionbeth Wolfenden was my fourth grade teacher!!
Seriously?? I thought the name sounded familiar but had no idea from where. She wasn't still there by the time I was in fourth grade, I don't think. At least I never had her. That is funny! And they never mentioned knowing her???
Yes, they did mention it at the time, and we even looked her up in an old U of O yearbook. She left after one year I think to get married. And, best of all, she had a sister named Ruthalbert! They were apparently named after some assortment of grandparents. She was a nice teacher, pretty strict.
