Dear Dolores:
Not having had a letter since I last wrote you, there really isn't much to write. This will probably be the last time I will be writing before I see you since I suppose you will be leaving for Detroit on Saturday. At least I suppose that is what you have planned. I really wish it might be so I could come to Dayton for you rather than ask you to come to Detroit. But you understand something about the obligations of a preacher don't you, Dolores? I am sure you do. Regardless of the obligations and inconveniences – I wouldn't change it for anything I know.
Today has been a slightly busy day around here – in fact it seems like almost ever since I have been here – there has been lots to do. With the help of one of the men from the church, I have managed to get some of my new wall paper on. I think it looks very good – even if I did pick it out. By tomorrow noon I think we will be all finished. I sure hope so because I can think of a lot of things I would rather do than hang wall-paper. I would like to have you see this “bachelor's house” after the paper is finished and I am all settled, but it is certainly in a sad state of affairs right now.
We had a good attendance (good for this church) at prayer meeting tonight and I felt a very good meeting. The people here are very definitely praying people for which I am glad. They certainly need to pray for their preacher. The don't pray long and loud like the Pharisee. It is more the humble prayer of the Publican.
Well, Dolores, I am still planning to meet you at 8:00 Monday morning as I stated in a recent letter. I haven't heard your approval or disapproval so I'm taking it for granted that it is alright. I'm hoping for a letter tomorrow. Unless I get lost in the city or something else happens, look for me at 8:00 – No later!
My last reminder to you is don't forget to bring the picture. 'Be seein' you soon, but not too soon. Good-night now!
Lovingly,
Ted
