Dotty, dear -
Somebody has been misinforming you about this physical exam, so I am losing no time writing you and getting this straightened out. I have talked with the marriage license clerk at the Court House and have also looked up the law myself and here is how it works:
The physical exam and blood test must be made within 10 days before the license is issued, not necessarily 10 days before the wedding - In other words if we take our exam now and the license is issued, say about Monday, we can get married anytime after that, as marriage licenses are good for years and years, if you see what I mean.
So I am taking my exam this afternoon as per schedule. Went down and got the forms today and am sending you some, as I got two sets. Anyway, and this is important, you better make an appointment to have your examination right away, so that we'll have a little time to work on. After the exam, the doctor has to send the blood specimen to the nearest approved laboratory to have it tested and he can't issue the certificate until the report is sent back to him. Then, after we turn in our certificates at the County Clerk's in Eugene and make application for a marriage license, we have to wait 3 more days before the license is issued. Therefore, you should have your exam for sure before the end of this week, and don't let anyone talk you out of it. If you want to you can use the forms I am sending. You have to fill out the application and have that notarized yourself, before you see the doctor. Then you turn everything over to him. After he has received the report from the lab, he has the certificate notarized and gives it to you and then you give it to the county clerk's office when we make the application.
I'm sorry I had to go into so much detail about this, but we should get it straight, and it might be too late if you waited until next week to have your exam. So please, dear, have it right away, and I'll bet everything I have you won't have to pay any more $5 fees.
Am writing you during my lunch-hour - probably won't have time tonite as I will be moving. So please write and tell me that you are having the exam right away.
Love, Bill
Hello puddin pie -
Did you get my letter in time? - I hope so - Thursday would be O.K. but Wed. was one day too soon-
Only 2 1/2 days till I'm through working - Hope I can last it out - Honestly I sure go around in a daze all the time- Have done a little more packing - I hope you don't lose too much weight in the next ten days -
Mary's coming over tonight and fix my veil - Then I'll be all fixed up - And will have lots of time next week to get things done-
Asked Dick last night about ushering - he'd love to and he's going to find out about getting off work and let me know - I sure hope he can -
I think it would be all right to ask Paul -
I'm sure not in a very good thinking mood - Wish April 13 - would hurry up and come - Oh dear - I am most certainly getting excited -
Think I'll go up to the house for dinner Friday - It might be kind of fun -
Also I can hardly wait till Saturday - Wish I had just lots to do - but I really haven't and it makes me very nervous to not be doing anything -
All my love
Dotty
