Hello, sweet -
Guess what - today I was only 70 miles from Eugene - Wend down to Salem this noon with Dr. Holman of the Multnomah Hospital mostly just for the ride, except that we had to pick up the Senate and House calendars and also Dr. Holman had a couple of questions to ask of Senator Belton - We got down about 2:15 and had to wait until 5:00 before they adjourned. It was kind of interesting listening to the senators argue and wrangle around-
I received your sweet little letter today, also your request for addresses - I'll try to get all those you listed and I'll send them to you later in the week or bring it down Saturday - and thanks for putting Larry Crane's name on the list; wonder if he'll be surprised - oh, yes, and how do I get Dotty Lou's address - By the way, when are you going to send out these invitations; we still have quite a bit of time, I hope -
What with the invitations, Dr. Morris, the church, the flowers, etc. you're going to be pretty busy from now on taking care of the details - Gosh darn it, I wish they were all settled and April 13 was here - but it should be fun between now and then anyway, I guess -
Got a letter from Von today - he seems to be having quite a time up in Seattle, although he says the night life is rather expensive - he is coming down to Portland about the middle of March and I'll find out then whether he will be able to get down to Eugene on the 13th -
So you are fixing up some cookies or cake for me, I hope - that is very sweet of you - also I am looking forward to wearing the Valentine socks - what color are they anyway ?
Mr Couch is leaving for San Francisco Saturday morning and he will be gone all next week, but I am going to have plenty to do in his absence, and for that matter, all during March. After Mr. Couch gets back I am going to ask him how much of a vacation I can have for the honeymoon - hope it's at least a week and I wouldn't be surprised if it were more.
I have it all figured out that I am coming down to Eugene practically every weekend in March except one, and that weekend you will come up here - so the present two - weeks interval is the last we'll ever have - isn't it wonderful -
Love and kisses,
Bill
Hello, Sweetie Pie -
I'm sorry dear but I was going to make you some cookies today and then couldn't cause I remembered that I have no stamps and no money. I'll make some next Sunday when you are here and you can take them with you.
Tony called today and asked me to tell you that you had a big match on next Sunday with him, Elliott and Fennell - Soooo- guess you'll be playing golf - Finished one of your socks and now am working on the other one and hope to finish it soon-
Ordered the "invites" Sat - and got the material for my dress so now it's impossible to change my mind - altho I'm sure I won't want to -
Sundays are sure dopey days when you're not around. For lack of something to do I've been asleep all afternoon - Fine thing - I probably won't be able to sleep tonight -
Oh yes got me a hat Saturday, too and it's really a hat - but it looks O.K. and I'm going to like it - Wait till you see it!!!! -
Dear I' don't think I'll mail this till Tuesday - I mean Monday night - I hate to keep bumming stamps from Mom - But you'll get a nice fat letter on Tuesday -
Goodbye for now -
Dotty
Hello again, sweet -
And now it's finally Monday - The news in your letter was wonderfull - about the $25.00 - It would help a lot if it does go through. - But I'll keep it quiet -
Ruth and Karl seem to be having quite a time of it - I wish they could get straightened out O.K. - I know it's hard for him to come to Portland , so guess we'd better not count on that deal - When you write him? could you tell him that Ruthie really feels bad about that letter she wrote telling about the mixup she'd had with her mother - She hasn't said anything to me about it, but Margaret told me about it coming home tonight - And she said that if Karl understood he might not feel the way he does - Anyway Ruth never should have written that letter cause everything'll probably blow over - And Ruth feels plenty bad cause she hasn't heard from Karl - and if he really likes her a lot he shouldn't let a little letter spoil things - (Can you understand what I'm trying to get at and I hope I'm not mixing things up) anyway Ruth doesn't know I'm writing so she shouldn't know - I guess she's kind of all mixed up - and really would like to get settled down -
Tonight's the night we get started on my sewing - it won't be long now - How many more days? -
Enclosed is a cute little letter from Wava - Thot you might like to see it - Gosh wish I'd get some money some way or other it's sure terrible being penniless and I mean penniless -
If you wade through all this you'll be doing good - What you think about little Patty being "Little Colonel"?- I'm glad she got it cause she's really a sweet little kid -
Hope this Saturday comes quick like -
All my Love,
Dotty
