March 20, 1941 Thursday "and remember to invite everyone - the ushers and Ed to dinner so we can have the practice -"

                                                                                       Thursday

Hello, sweet -
     Just think - April 13 is only 23 days away now - Every morning the first thing I do at the office is turn over the calendar pad and subtract the no. of days - it's sure fun - and the day can't come too soon for me, or do you know that already -
     Am glad to hear you are getting the invitations addressed - I'll try to get those addresses; will probably have to write Karl to get Bea's and Jo's addresses - so it will be a little while yet - and will get Mrs. Eigner's and Sargent's tomorrow -
     By the way, sweet, don't forget to send me a couple invitations - thought I'd give Bob Moser one and keep one - Von is coming down this weekend so I'll see him and find out for sure when he can get down to Eugene - Got a card from Ed today saying he wouldn't be going to Washington for a while yet and that he would be in Eugene for sure -
     Didn't work much this afternoon - listened to a couple of lectures, one on medicine and one about surgery - by gosh, I might learn something about all this yet, although they certainly use the big words.
      Am going to call Mr. Byrne when he gets into Portland about Sunday nite and find out what time he is going down to the coast on the 29th - that ought to be a lot of fun that weekend if we go to Kay Kyser, go to the coast, and also make application for a marriage license -
      Hope it doesn't rain this weekend on account of I would like to get my car all polished up for April - won't have any time to do it then -
      And this weekend, sweet, will be the last one we spend apart - are you glad!
                                                                                               Love,
                                                                                                   Bill

Hello my puddin -
     I'm not worrying a bit about things - In fact I'm thrilled to death and happier than a lark - I got the sweetest letters today from Aunt Edna and Marge -  A.E. feels about the same way I do about Ruth and Betty - Also she says you can bring the little trunk down with you next time -  I'm writing her tonight about Wava's coming up - and said you could call her - The number is East 3443 or 4334 or if not those two ask information for the telephone number at 3923 S.E. Taylor -
     Also I've asked Marge about the veil so can you call her and ask when you can pick it up?-
     I'm sending the two invits. - But what do you want with them -
They're no enclosure cards with these two cause I'm running low -  It's swell about Ed and I sure think he's a peach - I've already addressed his invitation - Will he get it anyway - or should I try to change it - we may have enough extras - but I'm not sure -
     Oh yes, Tony is in Calif. now - according to Keith so hope you hear from him soon - and remember to invite everyone - the ushers and Ed to dinner so we can have the practice -
     Called Dr. Wirt and it's O.K. about the church  - In fact don't think I needed to call cause all he said was yup- fine O.K.-
     Glad you found out about the license - It will be fun to go together -  Almost finished another dish cloth last night - And have more wonderful ideas about the apartment only can't use them all - so have to figure out which ones are best - oh happy day -
     I sent you the names for addresses yesterday - so don't forget them -
     Am going for another fitting on my dress tonight - it's sure cute and my suit is going to be a honey -
     Goodby now my love -
                                                                              Dotty
