Here is a Michigan/Ohio State poster from 1941. Grandma seemed intent on maintaining a healthy team rivalry between her team and Grandpa's team during their courtship. Did she ever become a Michigan fan?
Dear Ted,
Look, I'm keeping my promise. Of course I wouldn't make a promise I didn't intend to keep though. However, if I sound “groggy” you know know why.
I wonder if you missed the rain. I hope so. It rained here quite a bit today. Mother, Mary Evelyn an I went to town a little after 10:00 but didn't stay long. It started raining and we didn't want to run around and get wet. We had some perfectly good umbrellas at home but they didn't seem to do us much good. Strange, isn't it? Of course, we're not sugar nor salt but you know how it is. Anyway I wouldn't have stayed very long even if mother had. I could hardly keep my eyes open. Do you suppose it could be because I was up a little late last nite?
When I (or we) came home we ate a little lunch (really!) and then guess what I did? I went upstairs and slept. How did you guess? I slept for about three hours straight but I'm still sort of sleepy.
Ted, I want you to know what a wonderful vacation I had and all because of you. I really enjoyed every minute of it. It was awfully thoughtful of you to invite me and I'm truly glad I could go.
Guess what? I have Monday off. Can you beat that? I'm really glad though. However, it just prolongs the agony of going back to work but maybe I won't mind so much. I might as well make the best of it.
The Ohio State – University of Southern California football game ended not so long ago. It was played in California and Ohio went out there not expected to do so well but they came out with the amazing score of 33-0 (in their favor of course). Isn't it wonderful? Ohio won't be able to hold them now I'm afraid. I understand that Michigan also came out ahead today but with a much less imposing score – 6-0. (Don't glare at me).
Speaking of football – the game Mary Evelyn wanted to see last nite was another success in our favor. Our old alma mater wiped up the field with their opponents to the tune of 33-0 – the same as Ohio State. It was their first league game too. I hope they keep it up.
I've written notes to Ivone, Miss Hatch, Mary Lou and Joyce. They were all so good to me. I forgot to write down Ivone's address when we got home but I think I remembered it. If I don't have it right, it will not doubt come flying back to me. I put my return address on it.
This has been another lazy day for me but I'll bet you didn't sit around or stay in one place very long. I hope you accomplished all you wanted to. I wouldn't want to be the cause of your neglecting your work – at least not to any great extent. You know I want you to put first things first. And I'm really serious now.
If I've forgotten anything I wanted to say tonight I'll try to think of it tomorrow. In the meantime I'll say good-night,
With love,
Dolores
P.S. Mother says to tell you “hello” from her.
P.S. #2 – Don't forget to send that picture. Please.
