Dear Dolores:
So Uncle Sam let you down last week, did he? “Such things ought not so to be.” By this time you should know that it wasn't because I failed to write. I promised to write whenever I received a letter and I did exactly that. I mailed you a letter every day last week – I really did. Perhaps you got two Monday and Tuesday also. You should have received two on Tuesday. At least that is the way I had it planned. I received two letters today myself. Was I glad for them!!
Incidentally, speaking of letters, I believe I should offer a suggestion. May I, please? Of course this is selfish – I know it is – but you'll see why. You find it difficult to concentrate on what you are writing while trying to listen to a radio program. That is also true of my own experience. Want to know what I do? That's right! I turn the radio off. Apparently you don't and consequently I get a short letter. Honey, I'm not scolding, really I'm not. Please believe me. Your letters are “swell” and I like them so much, but I'm just selfish enough to want you to think of me while you are writing instead of a radio program. Now, that is selfish isn't it? You understand me don't you, Dolores? I hope so.
Of course I have no right to say anything about short letters because you write longer letters than I do. Please don't make them any shorter, will you?
I have made temporary arrangements to have someone preach for me Sunday evening, Nov. 2nd, so be sure to let me know if our plans have to be changed. LH wouldn't take “no” for an answer in regard to me preaching for him that evening. Prepare for the worst.
Do you know what I did just a few minutes ago? Counted the letters I have received from a very lovely person in Dayton, Ohio. I have just 25. How many do you have?
I surely enjoyed being at the Mayfields' yesterday. They certainly are very fine people – and are they ever a happy pair? Of course there are three now and that adds to their happiness I am sure. I would like to give your more of the details of the visit there but I'll wait and tell you all about it. It would take me so long to write all of it.
Do you get tired of my woeful story of how weary and worn I am? I”ll bet you do. Hereafter, I will refrain from any mention of that item, but just so you will understand why this is all “jumbled up” I will remind you that I'm still quite a lot behind on my sleep. I have been working out all day so there has been no chance to sleep and the last two nights – for me -have been far too short. Perhaps I will be able to write a “decent” letter if I get rested again. With this I'll close and get some of that much needed sleep. I'm sending regards to your people and my special love for you.
