Dear Ted,
When I got your letter yesterday, I hadn't been up so very long; but today when I got it, I had the whole upstairs cleaned already. It was cleaned good too. Do you believe me? You should because I always tell the truth. (Do I love me).
I've had quite a full day. When I finished cleaning the house, it was time to eat lunch. Then I had to get ready and go up town to the doctor's. Don't get excited. I'll explain the reason for such a visit. I don't know if I told you about the wart I have on the bottom of my foot or not but I do have one. It has become larger and very painful so I decided to do something about it. I went to the doctor for whom Adyllis works. He's a skin specialist and is good at removing warts, etc. I've been to him before so I wasn't afraid or anything. He's awfully nice anyway. I thought he would burn it out with an electric needle, but after seeing it he decided differently. He said that way would make it too painful since there is so much pressure on it, so he used the X-ray. I had to lay on my stomach with my foot propped up for 12 minutes plus the time it took to get everything ready. There wasn't one bit of pain though. The other method would probably have been somewhat painful, so I'm more than glad he did it this way. It may cost more – I'm not sure yet. I must go back in 10 days or 2 weeks unless it becomes inflamed in the meantime. So much for my “operation.” You're probably bored stiff with it all anyway.
To go on with my “activities.” When I came home I went to the grocery for something mother forgot to have delivered. When I got home again I plunged in and helped get supper. I peeled carrots and potatoes (and later beat them), cleaned celery and made dessert. All mother had to do was fry steak and make gravy – minor items, don't you think? Oh, I forgot to mention – I opened a can of peas to put with the carrots. I just love peas and carrots together.
After dishes were done, I had to get ready and go away again. Would you like to know where I went? I'll tell you anyway. Our superintendent had asked me Sunday if I would meet with 3 or 4 others and try singing together. Some fun. There turned out to be 5 of us. We just tried out our voices together to see how they blended, etc. We have (or rather had) an octet at church but it has sort of been broken up. I was not a member incidentally. They wanted me to practice with them next Friday but I have other arrangements. I could change my plans for Friday but they want to sing on Rally Day and if my other plans work out, I won't be there on that day anyway. Know where I'll be? In Michigan! Do you think I'm terrible to miss our Rally Day to come up and see you? I don't. I don't know how I could possibly arrange any other time. If you'd rather I stayed home that Sunday, let me know. It will be the weekend of Nov. 1, 2 and 3. Incidentally, that is also the 1st Sunday of our revivals but they will last for 2 weeks. I can go every other night. See what I mean?
My folks don't think I'm foolish for writing to you every day. (They have another name for it.) Mother says she doesn't think it would do any good even if they did think so and anyway I could write 2 times a day as far as she's concerned. So we'll certainly keep it up as long as everybody's happy, won't we.
It's getting late – almost 12:00 am and I do have to work tomorrow. I didn't have any other time to write to you today as you can tell from my full schedule. Honestly I was busy every minute it seemed. I'm not very sleepy yet but I suppose I should get my beauty sleep. No one needs it worse than I, so good-night.
With Love From,
Dolores
