                                                                             Thursday

Hello, sweet -

     Well here it is the day after Xmas already - this is lots of fun having holidays in the middle of the week - I can hardly wait for this weekend so I can go out and play some golf - honestly, dear, the golf clubs are just wonderful -
     By the way, how did the office force of the Monroe Lumber Co. like your wrist watch - hope it's keeping good time -
     Guess what - I am coming down to Eugene again for sure for New Year's Eve - so let's plan on doing a lot of celebrating - I told Karl to write me after he had seen Battleson to see if some kind of party could be fixed up at Bat's -  so I'll know more about that in a day or so  -  it's really been quite a while since we went out with Bat and Frances, hasn't it -
     Took it easy coming up last night and it was rather a pleasant trip - it just rained occasionally and was clear most of the time - we got to Portland about 11:15 -
     Have to go back to the office for a while tonight, but hope to get through in time to go out and see Oregon play some basketball at Portland Univ--
     Tomorrow night I will be working till about midnight again - and also next Monday night, so I will be ready for a vacation again New Year's Day -
     The candy and walnuts are being consumed pretty rapidly - I am eating more than I should, but they are awfully good -
     Gotta go now, dear - hope I get a nice long letter from you tomorrow -
                                                                 All my love,
                                                                             Bill

Looks like she got him golf clubs and he got her a watch. Wish I had known about the watch and we could have saved it. I'm sure it was there with all that stuff.
