April 1, 1941 Tuesday "...I guess I can't possibly starve in 10 days "

                                                                                     Tuesday

Hello, sweet -
     Have you had your physical exam yet - And did you call up the county clerk's office to see whether you could make the application without me being there - I am going to have my exam tomorrow and it should only take about a day to get the blood test report, so the forms should be all ready by Friday or thereabouts, so I can give them to you this weekend and then in 3 days license will be issued. I guess.  Just happened to think - maybe the office is open Saturday afternoons - so why don't you call and find that out too -
     Well, this is my last night in 1831 S.W. 14th - have most of my stuff packed and am going to move tomorrow nite; the lights are turned on now and the apartment really looks all right.  I am going down to the grocery store tomorrow and buy a few things; wish you were here to give me some expert advice on how to start housekeeping although I guess I can't possibly starve in 10 days -
     Dictated a letter to the local draft board changing my address - had Vada make a carbon copy so I'll be protected - It's quite a serious offense to move without notifying the board of change in address.
     The Medical School budget is all typed and ready to be sent to the Chancellor's Office - only four salary increases are included and mine is one of them -
     I wrote Von last night about borrowing his tux for the wedding, so guess I won't have to rent one - Would it be all right if I wore a red tie, I hope, or what do you think -
     The weather here is really damp now - I am just crossing my fingers and hoping that it will be nice from Easter Sunday on -
     Got my check today and it is disappearing much too fast - but I am going to try not to worry about the money angle - there are too many other things to think about that are so much more pleasant -   Everybody up at the Medical School is kidding me about only having another week of single life, but I don't mind - April 13 just can't come too soon -
     Remember - from now on I'll be at 3317 S.W. 11th, Apt. 5 -
                                                                                    All my love,
                                                                                             Bill

P.S.  Remember the physical -
   we haven't any too much time -

                                                                                      Tuesday -

Don't get your Physical exam on Wed. - or - anyway your Wasserman Test  - It's no good more than 10 days before the wedding -  Sooo- I'm not getting mine till next Wed. - but if you get yours Friday it'd be O.K.  -  or even Monday.  If you get it sooner than 10 days before - you have to get another which means another $5.00!
     Just had a miner wreck on our corner - one car sorta bashed in his front end - both practically brand new cars too -
     I don't know how I'm going to last the week out - I am getting more restless and just can't bear to be working - altho I have nothing much else to do  -  I am going to see Dick tonight -  I hope he is working-
     Just think!  only about a week and a half - and I can't think of another thing -
Don't forget about your physical exam -
