Dear Ted,
Would you like a bite of my apple? It's delicious - it was grown just a few miles south of Dayton. Or would you care for a drink of Mary's cider? She generously offered you some. It was made from the apples on the same farm where we get the apples. Mary claimed she was eating the same thing I was only she didn't have to chew it. Bright, isn't she?
We had a most delightful visit with the folks from Detroit. However, their "business" was just about what I feared. Hordy is on defense work and is really needed at the shop. They sent in deferment papers for him in regard to the draft but it seems the board will not recognize them. The only chance he has left is to appeal his case again in person and he thinks he has a slight chance. Otherwise he will be called in about 2 or 3 weeks. In that case he wants to get married before he goes. They are both set on it, so far be it from us to oppose them. They wanted to get our opinion of where they should get married and how, etc. We are going to get them some information in regard to blood tests here, etc before they decide definitely. I know it will be hard for mother if her last boy is taken. None of us like it of course and it will be just as tough on the Gruenebergs. They think so much of him. I surely hope he won't need to go.
One of my favorite compositions is being played on the Ford Hour right now. It's "Finlandia" by Jean Sibelius. Know it? I just love it. Do you ever get to hear any of the Ford program? It is on from 9 till 10 PM. It's really a beautiful program.
Did I ever have a time teaching this morning! Give me the younger girls any time. I would even rather teach the young people's class and I didn't think that would ever the be case. I talked and talked - to myself most of the time. Why are girls that age (about 12-14) so difficult to keep interested? Their attention is so easily diverted. I suppose if you could answer that question you'd be glad to, wouldn't you?
"Take It Or Leave It" is now on the radio and I'm having much more difficult concentrating. Music is so much more soothing and helpful for concentrating.
Before I forget it, Mrs. Grueneberg asked me to say "hello" to you and send her regards. Isn't that thoughtful of her?
Honestly my mind is almost a blank tonight. I know what you're thinking - tonight? (or all the time?) Sometimes I wonder myself.
If you'll forgive me again, I think I'll cut this shorter than usual. I'm making so many mistakes anyway. I hope I hear from you tomorrow.
Love,
Dolores
