Dear Dolores:
Again you will probably say “What a time to be writing a letter.” I will admit that at such a time (3:00 Sat. morning) one should be soundly sleeping. In fact the reason I didn’t write last evening is because I was overcome with that dreadful disease of “sleepiness.” However, I haven’t really been to bed yet. You see when one is living by himself he can do what he wants to when he wants to. But it was all brought about in this way. Last evening I went with some of my church people to a neighboring village to hear a Russian evangelist speak on conditions in Russia. It was a long service and the house was late when we got back. Instead of writing then, I decided it would be much better if I would sleep a few minutes (I was so sleepy) so down I went on my sofa-bed. The “few minutes” turned out to be about 3 1/2 hours. You scold me, Hun. I know I need it.
The last letter you receive before this one will be post-marked “Schoolcraft”. Perhaps that will arouse your child curiosity. (I’ll bet you are glaring at me now). Please forgive me for making such a break. I will proceed to explain that situation.
You remember Floyd Merrill, do you not? This year he is working on his degree in Northwestern State Teachers College in Kalamazoo. His wife has a cousin in Schoolcraft - which is south of Kalamazoo - whom she wanted to visit yesterday, so we went with Floyd to Kalamazoo and from there I took her on out to her cousin’s. She is one of those women drivers who is afraid to drive if there is another car anywhere around. Much different from your “kid-sis”. Then you will wonder what I did with myself in the midst of such a situation. I went and spent the day with a former college “pal” - none other than Bruce Densmore. He lives only a short distance from Schoolcraft. Incidentally, the said letter I referred to was mailed from this town as you will know.
Now back to Bruce. I’m sure you haven’t forgotten who he is. Needless to say we had an interesting visit. Even fellows like to “chew the fat” once in awhile. You couldn’t guess the event that is coming to pass in his life. That’s right! He is planning to be married next month. Isn’t it terrible what some people will do?
Dolores, you would be interested in knowing that I had a letter from Ivonne yesterday - a good letter too. She has some very nice things to say concerning a friend of mine who visited in her home with me not long ago. She only mentioned part of the many nice things that could be said.
No letter from Dayton yesterday! I’m holding Uncle Sam responsible. He better come across with two today! Must stop now.
With love - Ted
