Grandpa - Sept. 19, 1941

Dear Dolores:
Hello again! The letter from you I was hoping for didn't come this morning, but I'm going to write just the same. Just because I didn't get a letter is no reason why I should hold out on you. It may be my own fault that I didn't hear from you. Yesterday morning just before I put your letter in the mailbox, I discovered I had it addressed to 1328 Martel Dr. instead of 2813. You will notice that I corrected my error. It happens that when I was getting ready to write you last Friday night, or rather at 1:00 Saturday morning, I took my typewriter and addressed three envelopes. The one I sent yesterday as the last of the three. I may have made the same mistake on the other two. If I did, perhaps you didn't get them. At any rate I mailed you a letter last Saturday morning and also one Monday morning. Enclosed in the one I sent Monday were some snapshots. I surely hope you got them. If you didn't get them, let me know and I'll send for more.
I am still in the process of getting settled. Yesterday and today I spent “pushing” a paintbrush in an effort to get some progress made. I have the painting nearly finished – all except the final coat in the kitchen. Incidentally, would you be interested in knowing what color I am painting the interior of my house? It is white throughout. Is that O.K.? The new wall paper will be put on next week I think, at least I hope it will be no later.
The way my plans are now, I will be going right from here to Detroit Sunday night, Sept. 28. One of my church members – and incidentally, a very good friend of mine – works in Detroit. He will be coming home that weekend and we will go back together after church that night. I will spend the remainder of the night – if there is any left??? with him at Bogley St. and meet you Monday morning. How is that? O.K. I hope!
May I say good night with this brief note? I will admit that it is short, but perhaps it will do – I hope!
As Ever -
Ted
