Dear Ted,
I'm waiting for those people to come after me to sing again so while I wait I can at least start a letter even if I can't finish it until later. In spite of your late hours and hard work, etc., you are doing right well with your letter writing. Keep it up, please.
Monday and Tuesday of this week it was so unseasonably warm. Then yesterday it rained and today it's so nice and crisp and cool. I really like it much better this way. By the time I come up to Michigan it will no doubt be really cold, won't it? Do you suppose I should wear my winter coat this time? -----
2 ½ hours later -----
Just as I was thinking what to write next, the folks came and off I went. We didn't sing so much because none of us seemed to be in too good a form. Most of the 2 ½ hours was spent eating and visiting. The lady whose husband has charge of it doesn't sing herself, but oh my! Does she ever feed you! She gets a lot of joy out of doing it. I won't tell you all she had, but it was fattening and along with all the other stuff I ate today – honestly, Ted, I'll be as fat as a little pig. I know you wouldn't want me to get that fat, now would you? After we ate, we looked at pictures of the trip they took this last summer. It was quite extensive, covering 9 states besides Ohio. It evidently was a most interesting trip but I'll “bet” they didn't have a bit better time than I had about about 3 weeks ago. They couldn't have.
When I got home, imagine my surprise at being ousted out of my own private bed chamber. While I was gone, the folks got a long distance (ahem) call from Detroit. The folks are going to be down tonight again – that is, about 2:00 AM. That means that my brother gets my bed. They said that everything was alright but I can just imagine why they are coming. My brother's deferment probably did not go through and they are coming down to get their blood test tomorrow prior to applying for a marriage license. If that's the case, they'll no doubt want to be married the following weekend and if so where'll I be? I'm all upset now and befuddled. Adyllis has plans for next week too so if they do have in mind what I think they have, maybe we can persuade them to wait a week or so. Don't worry too much about it please and I'll let you know immediately all about it when I found out definitely.
I'm so tired tonight that I'll just have to cut this short. I know you don't it and honestly – I really don't like to, but I simply can't write much more. Please forgive me again. Thanks, - you're sweet to put up with my shortcomings.
With love,
Dolores
