March 18, 1941 Tuesday "Got the invitations today..."

                                                                            Monday

Dearest -
     Yep, I miss you already - Got the invitations today and have already addressed quite a few of them - Only they sent me a different size than I ordered - In fact they're twice as big - but they're all right - only they are big -
     Did you get home all right - I did wake up about 4 - couldn't see my watch - but didn't hear the alarm - then you were up and around - Only I didn't completely wake up - Mom says you were real quiet - I hope you don't have to work real late tonight - certainly wasn't very ambitious working today -
     I hope you get the ushers lined up O.K. and be sure to tell them about the dinner before-hand - shall we say 6:00 - that means we'll get started about 6:30 or 6:45 which means the practice will start about 7:30 or 7:45 -
     P.S. - Don't forget the addresses - and if you think of any others send them along -
     Sorry, dear, can't seem to think of much to say - Maybe something exciting will happen tomorrow -
     You might send me our future address, too -
                                                  All my love
                                                      Dotty

Hello sweet -
     How have you been since Sunday.  Guess you were still asleep when I left yesterday morning - I woke up before the alarm went off - had a quick trip to Portland, getting here about 7:30 and I even stopped in Oregon City for coffee and donuts on account of I was getting pretty hungry.
     Worked till about 9:00 last nite so it was a long day, but I was in bed before 10 PM - so today I am back to normal.
     It has really been raining since about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon - guess spring is going to take a little recess - this is the first time it ever started raining on Monday; it's usually Saturday -
     Tonite and tomorrow nite I am going to listen to a couple of lectures in connection with the post graduate course.  Mr. Couch thought I ought to take them in and get a little more knowledge about the profession of medicine.  The subject of tonight's lecture is the Diagnosis of Cancer of the Breast and its Surgical Treatment so you can see that I don't know anything about it either -
     Has anything new developed in connection with the wedding - Hope you get the invitations this week and I want you to send me a couple when you get them too - And you better call up the minister this week too - and sometime between now and the 29th could you check up on the procedure for making application for a marriage license - maybe we could get it then on the 29th - I hope - and then afterwards we can have lunch with champagne - remember!!
     Have all your boxes and skis moved into the apartment - so you can start fixing up another load for me to bring up next time - there's still lots of room in the apartment even if it is small -
                                                                               Love and kisses,
                                                                                  Bill
