Hello, hello, hello -
Yep - Sounds like the game was fun - and sounds like Mr. Byrne is a pretty nice guy - I wondered if you would be sitting near all the notables - The announcer announced how they were introducing them all - and I wondered maybe they'd introduce you- Did they? -
Well today was a work day and didn't mind it too much - Now that I've made up my mind I don't care - I have a chance to get rid of Damit soon - Thank goodness - Melba has decided that she will get a car and will pay me on mine to trade in on hers - or something - anyway that's what I'm going to do - Had to buy a new fan belt today and a new battery - soon the damn car is going to be worth $200.00 - But I will be glad to get rid of it -
I told them today I was going to take this weekend off - So it's all fixed up - and I wrote to Aunt Edna - and I'm making a shopping list and I can hardly wait -
Do you know that my one week of leisure cost me about $20.00 - Wow - it certainly doesn't pay to be sick-
The Christmas spirit is beginning to creep up on me - Stayed downtown this noon and saw all the people and all the decorations - There certainly were a lot around -
My rug is certainly going to be colorful to say the least. It's right in front of me and I'm just wondering - Oh well, they say color is the thing now days -
After your nice long letter I feel kind of guilty about not mailing mine last night but I'll try not to let it happen again -
Guess I'll finish my baby sweater this week - then I can show it to you before I give it away - would you like that?! -
What do you think of this dinky little note paper - but it's just about gone - Just 3 1/2 days till I see you -
Lots & lots of love
& lots & lots of kisses -
Dotty-
Hello, Dotty -
Was very happy to know that you are practically recovered and all set to come up to Portland this weekend - I am so anxious to see you I don't see how I can wait till Friday PM - just 3 days from now --
I think that's a very good idea you have of selling your car - hope you can talk Melba into giving you at least half of what you put into it - anyway, if you sell it I bet you can start saving money a little faster -
I have inquired some more into the question of what kind of dresses the gals are wearing Saturday nite - from all I can learn, long dinner dresses are supposed to be worn, although lots of the girls wear short dresses, but the dance is informal - so I will let you figure it out - Betty is going to wear a long dress - and so is one of the secretaries up at the office - anyway, I don't see that it makes much difference - you will still be the most beautiful girl there -
Think we are going to have lots and lots of fun all weekend - shopping, dining, dancing, etc - Please let me know just when you are planning on getting up here - in case you haven't checked up, the train that leaves Eugene about 4 or 5 is really a fast one, and I really think you ought to come up on it --- anyway let me know --
Am going ice-skating tonite again - hope I don't fall down -
All my love,
Bill
Tuesday -
Here it's only Tuesday and it seems like a month since Monday -
I checked up on the train and bus schedules - train leaves 4:20 and arrives 8:00 - bus leaves 6:30 and arrives 10:30 - Best I take the bus (if I don't get a ride up) Then New Year's I can take the 4:20 train - So you can kiss me at the Bus depot - It sounds like the dance is going to be fun -
I knitted and knitted last night and just about gave up- The pattern is very complicated and I'm not at the halfway mark. In fact it's going to be harder for a while -
Do you know that the kids are almost ready for exams. This next weekend is closed - Fine thing -
You don't believe in telling me what you want for Xmas do you? - Guess I'll surprize you and get something besides woods - So - or would I surprize you - And what are you getting for me?
Oh dear, can't seem to think - Things are beginning to get a little busier at the office - and we have a little more work to do But it isn't too bad - We have started on the Xmas things
My P.O. is practically gone - my eyes are still funny red and itch a little bit - But not for long I hope - And I'm still disgusted with Damit - Well, dear, goodbye for now - And do you still love me? After this awful letter -
All my love,
Dotty
