Dear Ted,
It's rather late – (11:30 PM) – and I'm sort of tired and I have to get up tomorrow morning and go to work as usual but I couldn't go to bed with a clear conscience or feel just right if I didn't keep my promise and write to you. And far be it from me to get up at 5:00 AM to do it. Honestly, I just couldn't. Of course I know it's nothing for you to arise at such an unearthly hour. It probably doesn't phase you in the least but for me it's practically the middle of the night. I'm awfully glad that with the work I do now the time goes much faster and I don't even get sleepy after lunch – at least I haven't so far.
We had so much fun tonight. We had class meeting here. Remember I told you about it? There were 16 of us including our pastor and his wife and we were divided evenly – that is, exactly half girls and half boys. That's quite unusual. Usually the girls outnumber the fellows. In our business meeting, we elected new officers. Mary Evelyn had the honor of being elected president. They nominated me for every office and finally elected me to the last one – asst. secretary-treasurer. Quite an honor, don't you think? I really didn't want any office at all as you can well imagine, so I'm glad that since I had to have one that it's such an insignificant one. We had loads of fun in our games and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves very much. Anyway they told us so when they left. I'll tell you what we served them and make you hungry – I hope. Cider (very sweet and good), donuts (delicious), candy (also good), and apples comprised the menu. Are you hungry now? Personally I just love cider and donuts.
One of the other Sunday School teachers who is just a little younger than I and teaches the Intermediate girls' class kindly asked me to – yes, you've already guessed it – teach her class Sunday morning. Naturally I consented. I never like to shirk my duties – or should I say opportunities. Yes, I guess I'll say opportunities. That would be truer, wouldn't it?
Teddy, will you forgive me if I cut this considerably shorter tonight? I'm really very sleepy. I can scarcely keep my eyes open. Thanks – I knew you'd forgive me. I'll do better tomorrow (I think) so until then I again send you
Love,
Dolores
