Dear “Dodo”,
This makes the second time I have written you today. It is a pretty good average isn't it? It must be terrible to be the “victim” of so much propaganda. I'll try to be brief tonight so perhaps it won't be so bad this time. Please, Honey, don't glare that way.
Am I tired tonight! Guess why? That shouldn't be hard knowing that today was the opening day of the hunting season. It seems like I have tramped over all the hills, valleys, dales and through all the swamps and marshes in this section of the state. What a day! But it has been heaps of fun. I really believe I have walked twenty miles today. Besides all of that while crossing a ditch this morning I went in the water way over my boot-top. I not only had a boot full of water, but I was soaked. More fun!
Now I suppose I am to report on the game I captured. Am I? Why would you embarrass me that way? What I actually got was one rabbit and that right here in my own garden late this pm. I shot at several birds (pheasants) and missed most of them. One of them fell to the ground and got away on foot. I guess I just had “bum” luck today. Perhaps the reason is that I traded guns last week and the one I was using didn't work too well. Part of the time I was using a gun that belonged to someone else so, of course, I wasn't accustomed to it. There is still plenty of time to get pheasants. The other fellows I was hunting with today got six pheasants altogether.
So you're finding that “kid sis” of yours to be a problem child are you? That's too bad. It is a bit hard to know what to do with such an individual, but I believe I have the solution. The next time I come to Dayton I'll treat her real nice. I'm sure she wouldn't like that – or would she. If that doesn't work, we'll try something else. There are other means that can be used you know.
I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open to night, so please forgive the briefness of this letter – please. I'll do better next time.
As Always,
Your Ted
