Hi -
I was not misinformed about the medical exam and what not - The doctor himself told me - I was in his office - ready to answer questions - He had all the papers in front of him - the ones you sent I guess - Then - I casually asked him when I'd get the report back - He said "oh tomorrow afternoon - about 4:30 at the earliest" - I said that was lots of time cause I wasn't getting married till Easter Sunday - Then he said I was glad I told him cause the certificates were no good after 10 days - He called the county clerk to be sure -
So he said to come back the latter part of the week or even next week - Wed. would be fine and I'd still have time to get the license- And here is what it says on the "medical certificate for marriage license" -"This affi. must be sworn to before presenting same to the Country Clerk and is void ten days after it is issued - I guess it would have been O.K. but just the same Tuesday, for me, might have been a bit too early - anyway don't worry, cause it'll all work out O.K. - It is possible to have the 3 day period waived - and if I get the license next Thursday that is 4 days or 3 1/2 days in advance of Sunday.
Maybe the laws are different in Portland from those in Eugene - But don't worry - see you Sat. -
All my love
Dotty
Thursday
Hi, dear -
Have been having lots of fun today - the weather was great and Mr Couch and I played golf all afternoon- never even went back to the office after lunch - looks like Thursday is my golf day from now on, I hope - and I played lots better today than I have been -
Well, I am all moved into the little apartment and all set to start keeping house. Moved in last nite, but didn't have much time to get things cleaned up properly. Oh, yes, brought the bed and mattress up from downstairs and they are really swell - and the bed is really easy to shove around - smooth as silk.
It is now 7:30 and I have just finished dusting the place, running the vacuum cleaner over the rug, and getting some of my junk downstairs. Also, I bought some groceries today $2.56 worth, so I shouldn't starve for awhile. Haven't had dinner yet either on account of I forgot to buy a can opener, so I'm going down when I mail this letter and see if I can find one -
I hope you took my letter seriously about the physical exam, and I think it is essential that you have it this week, if you haven't had it yet. I took mine yesterday and there wasn't anything to it, except paying the five bucks. The doctor is going to give me the certificate tomorrow, so I'll bring it down this weekend. Then I thought you could take my certificate and yours down to the County Clerk's about Tuesday after you get back from Portland and then our license will be issued on Friday. So even then we only have a couple of extra days, in fact only one, so I don't possibly see how you can wait until next week to take your exam, and have everything done in time. As for the 10 day business, somebody didn't tell you the truth. I talked to one of the girls in our office who was married last summer, and she took her exam over 3 weeks before she was married, although of course the license was issued within 10 days after the exam. Well, enough of that, but I did want to make sure you didn't wait till next week, as that might be too late, especially since you won't be back in Eugene till Monday night.
You know, sweet, you are a lucky girl to be ending your career as a stenographer in a day or so. Let's hope you won't ever have to do it again unless you want to. If we budget things OK, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. By the way I got the book from J. Merrifield and it is really all right.
Thanks for asking Dick Clark about being an usher - so please work on him as I don't know who else we can get. I'll ask Paul MacCaskill when I see him this weekend, and I think he should be able to do it all right, since he will be there -
I can hardly wait to see you Saturday - last weekend wasn't enough- will probably leave Portland around noon, but if possible I am going to sneak away a little earlier. So I'll see you Saturday afternoon and in the meanwhile, don't get too nervous or excited and please have your physical.
Love,
Bill
