Dear Dolores:
It happened just as I thought it would. I mean by that I received two letters today. You didn’t let me know did you, Hun? I knew you wouldn’t. Perhaps you say I am being over-confident. Really, do you think I am? I don’t believe so. I have been “let down” real hard already and experienced grave disappointment in similar situations, but I have felt differently about you, Dolores. I do appreciate the effort you have made to get a letter to me each day for the last three weeks. It has been a source of comfort and inspiration to me just to know that there was someone who thought enough of me to be willing to spend the time and effort to write me every day. The fact that such a person as you is willing to do that causes it to be even more interesting and encouraging. And I make no apologies for saying that I think you’re a might fine girl, Dolores. That is how you rate with me. And I might even make a confession right here. You are the only girl who has ever been interested enough in me to be willing to write every day. The same thing is true of myself in respect to other girls. Really, Dolores, I am enjoying our “association” far more than I can tell. Let’s keep it up! What do you say?
I rather expected to get a call to go and work in the store today, but it didn’t come. I seemed to be able to find plenty to do without that. Probably they will want me next Saturday when I will want to be doing something else. Guess what? I am only hoping your brother won’t plan a wedding next week-end and respect our plans. If he does!!! - Well, I’m afraid I won’t like that. Be sure to keep me informed so I can plan accordingly.
Most of the forenoon I spent cleaning and doing some simple tasks around the home. Yes, I am beginning to feel very much like this is “home” to me. At least I am trying to make it a home. It seems selfish to say “my home”, so I compromise by saying “the home”. I am hoping to share it with someone sometime. I also did some studying this morning. After lunch I studied, rested a while, and later in the afternoon made a call in a home here in the community where a daughter has been ill for several weeks. I also went into town to do a “little” shopping and made my first visit to a doctor’s office in Allegan. Don’t get excited. I’m not ill. You will remember hearing me say I have to be careful about eating too much sweet foods because of diabetes. I felt I should check up and find out what my present condition is in that respect. The doctor wants me to have a glucose test Monday morning. That means I have to go without my breakfast and go to the hospital where several samples of blood will be taken and tested for sugar. I will let you know what the result is.
Tomorrow is a busy day for me so I think I better close and do some “slumbering”. It is nearly 11:00 already. Until tomorrow - Good night!
Yours with love, Ted
