December 22, 1940 Sunday "took my dad for a ride in and around a few of the scenic spots of Portland"

                                                                             Sunday nite

Hello, sweet -

     How are you coming along with your waiting-for-Xmas - can hardly wait for the next 48 hours to pass and then I'll be in Eugene with you -
     This is going to be short and sweet on account of it is almost 7 o'clock and I think the mail is due to go out then, although you can't tell much about it, what with the Xmas rush - Went out last nite with Karl, Von, and Glen and ended up at the Actor's Club drinking whiskey sours - tsk -tsk -
Played golf this morning - the weather was great, but my golf game wasn't - Wester won practically every hole from me -  This afternoon went visiting and also took my dad for a ride in and around a few of the scenic spots of Portland - lots of people are decorating their front yards for Xmas - should look nice at night -
     Tomorrow nite will work again till about midnite - Friday nite we finished about 11 o'clock, but there are going to be about 200 examined tomorrow and we'll be lucky to finish by 12 --
     Well, sweetheart -  looks as though I should get into Eugene about 3:30 Tuesday - and hope you're home ready to welcome me with open arms -
                                                                    All my love,
                                                                             Bill
