Dear Dolores:
Hello again! I would much prefer to walk in on you tonight rather than to write, but that seems out of the question. Really, I wish you weren't so far away. It would be grand if I could see you two or three times each week, but no doubt I appreciate if far more when I do see you. As much as I like your picture, I still prefer to have you.
I have been thinking about you several times today, Hon. This PM at 4:00 it occurred to me that you were probably just going to work. That is just when I started to work – after a little nap I set down at my desk and spent the remainder of the PM studying and writing letters. One of the letters was to LH. I suggested that we go hunting next week instead of this week since I have so much to do here. If we do that, I will be going down there after my evening service one week from tonight. If he has conflicting plans, I will arrange to go down there the last day of this week. Right now my plans are to hunt Wednesday morning with a couple of men from the church. I know you think I am cruel to go out and shoot those pretty birds. Don't scold me, please. Maybe I don't even get a chance to shoot one.
In your last letter you asked about the other room I have been working on. It is a back-room off from the kitchen. It has been used for a kitchen by some of the folks who lived in this house but I use it more for a store-room. You know, one of those places where you put things that really have no particular place. With the new paper it is greatly improved, but it needs painting badly. I am hoping to get that done in the near future.
Would you be interested in what the “preacher” spoke about today? This morning his text was found in Heb. 5:11, speaking of Enoch it says “that he pleased God.” The object was to point out ways in which the believer can please God. It is a very interesting study. In the evening service the text was taken from Isa. 38:1. It was the command given to Hezekiah, “Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die, and not live.” Special attention was given to how Hezekiah set about to prepare for death. If you would like to know more about it, write the pastor and he will gladly give your more details. You know his address I am sure.
Dolores, I wish you were going to be here to go with me to Muskegon Tuesday PM. The service for which I am scheduled is at 7:00. I'm not thrilled over the idea of making the trip alone, but I can do it. It would be far more pleasant having a good traveling companion. I rather think I will come right home after the Young People's meeting since early Wednesday morning we will be out hunting.
If this letter seems a bit “hazy”, it won't be strange. I am trying to listen to “Take it or Leave it” on the radio. It is rather hard to concentrate. Anyhow, I have written enough haven't I? If I think of something more, I'll add an amendment in the morning.
Closing with Love,
Ted
P.S. Do your people think we are foolish to write every day? I hope not. Personally, I like it very much. Let's keep it up.
