Dear Dolores,
You should be here tonight since you are so fond of cider. Just a few minutes ago one of my very good neighbors made me a present of a quart of cider, and it was just made today. I don't have the donuts but I could easily get them. Of course there is another and far more important reason why I wish you were here. You see I'm all alone (except your picture) and everything is so still, and – well, I'm just sorta lonely tonight. It is the kind of loneliness that just one particular person can comfort, and that “particular person” happens to be you. Two weeks from tonight you will be here – at least I am hoping nothing will upset our plans. I can scarcely wait! But no foolin', Hun, I do get dreadfully lonesome for you. If it were not for the fact that I am kept busy all of my “waking hours”, I am afraid you would have a caller quite frequently. Aren't you glad I am kept busy? Really, are you?
In spite of the fact that this has been a rainy day I have been occupied most of the time. I hesitate to tell you what time I got up this morning. Will you think I'm lazy? It was the unearthly hour of 7:15. That is late for me, but I rather enjoyed the extra rest. I cleaned the house, swept and dusted the church, and went to town to do some shopping this AM. Most of the PM was spent studying and reading. It really seemed good to have a little time for that.
By the way, I purchased an alarm clock today so now I will be able to get up “real” early. Don't you think I need one? Ha!
I am wondering if you have plans made in regard to the trip up here. Perhaps you have that all settled. Here is a suggestion in case you haven't decided. I am sure you could get a bus from Dayton to Fort Wayne and it might even come right through to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. You might have to change at Fort Wayne, I'm not sure about that. If you should happen to get a bus that goes right through to Grand Rapids, you would go through a little town named Martin. That is only about 7 miles from here. My suggestion would be that if you get such a bus, come directly to Martin and I will meet you there. Of course I will be too glad to come to Kalamazoo or even to Dayton if needs be. Just let me know the place and the hour and I'll be sure to be there.
Since I have already written once today, would I be excused with this short epistle? I'll write again tomorrow.
With Love,
Ted
