My Dear “Dodo,”
Less than an hour ago I received your “note” of last Friday night. No foolin', I really enjoyed it very much in spite of the briefness. Thanks so much taking the time from your busy program to write me. This letter may turn out to be only a note because I just have to take some time this evening to prepare for the service tomorrow evening at Muskegon. You wouldn't want me to be embarrassed by getting up there and having nothing to say would you? I hope that will not be the case. My plans are to work tomorrow AM and take the PM to make final preparations and get there. I really won't mind if it continues (it is raining here now) to rain so we can't work because I have several things to do here before I leave.
This has been another day spent working away from home. That is the reason I didn't get your letter until this evening. I too appreciate coming home after a long hard day's work and finding a “swell” letter waiting for me. You come home and find your sisters and parents waiting for you – and perhaps a letter – but there is no one here when I come home except your picture and your letters. Really, Hon, that means a lot to me.
So the Mayfields were pleased with the idea of us coming down there some Sunday? Of course November 1st will be OK, if you can't get a weekend off before that. I shall be glad to plan that way and you can do accordingly. But as you say, there is a “catch.” I was afraid LH would want me to preach if we came to his place. It might be a good excuse to persuade the people here that they should let me go for the evening service. And on the other hand it hardly seems fair to expect you to listen to me both Sunday morning and evening. Do you think you could stand it? I will try to settle the matter with LH when I go down there to go hunting. And I will be waiting for November 1st to arrive.
As you know I will be away tomorrow evening, but I will do my best to get a few lines written sometime – perhaps after I get home. Until then ---!!!
It is with Love,
Ted
