March 26, 1941 Wednesday

Hello, sweetheart -
     Thanks for the addresses.  My list is now down to eight and I have five invitations left -  Sooooo --  Anyway I'm glad that worry is about over with -   A lot up in the B.O. said they had received their invites -
     About this beach trip - I really don't know what to do - Guess tho you really should see how things work and the lay of the land - If we went down Sunday that would be a long drive for you (Aunt Edna called last night and wanted to know could she come too, I said sure and I didn't think you'd mind.  She doesn't get to go many places and I'd like her to see a few of my things - Is it all right with you, dear?  - She can sit in the back with lots of pillows -)
     To get back to the cabin - Maybe you could go down Saturday and come back - or even stay - if you're here Friday and Sunday - Course it would be more fun to have you here all the time - It isn't absolutely necessary that I go - Anyway, dear, you figure it out, huh -
     If Karl can't get here for the practise it can't be helped - whoever will walk up the aisle with him can tell him what to do - Let's see now - who will be the ushers? -  Karl, & Bob Moser for sure and maybe Von - How about asking Dick Clark - He'll be here in Eugene and maybe he'd like to do it - Don't you think? -
     Also, dear, do you know for sure what the men wear.  It might be that dark suits are O.K. - can you ask around and I'll ask, too, some more.  It's really kind of complicated, isn't it - Tried on my dress last night and it's really pretty! -  Asked Bucky to be a bridesmaid and she said O.K. - In fact we've already ordered the material -
     Lottie Nagel congratulated me today and said she thot you were a pretty swell fellow - I said I did, too -
     And so puddin pie - tomorrow's Thursday, then Friday - Oh happy day -
                                                                           All my love,
                                                                                    Dotty


                                                                                         Wednesday

Hello, dear -
     Looks as though I am going to have a couple more passengers than I anticipated on Friday, now that your Aunt Edna is going too.  And Bob Moser wants to go down also.  So I wondered whether you needed the trunk yet - maybe I better wait and bring it down the following week, or what do you think.
     Vada was all thrilled at getting the invitation today - she also thinks they are very nice - and after all they really aren't big either.
     Listen, dear, you better not waste any time selling that car of yours if you get a chance.  Time is growing short and it might take a little while to find a cash purchaser.  And incidentally, I wouldn't be surprised if we could use the money very nicely.  Honestly, I am certainly not going to have a heck of a lot of money for April - every once in a while I really get worried.  And I'm also afraid we'll have to skip Kay Kyser this Friday nite - hope you don't mind too much -
     Golly, this weather is wonderful - I am just hoping it keeps up another month at least-
     Haven't been working too hard this week - won't know for sure how to finish the budget until we hear from Collins Friday.
     Gosh, I just can't wait to see you Friday - it really seems like an awful long time since I was in Eugene two weeks ago - By the way, would it be all right if I slept on your davenport Friday nite - won't get there till after 8:00 so there won't be much time to look around for a bed -
                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                           Bill
