Dear Dorothy:

As per our conversation of Sept. 4th, here is a letter.
It is now about nine o’clock I have been out to the farm all day, just on my way home, thot I should drop you this.
We played ball at Lamont Sunday, we won our first game 16 to 0 and lost in the finals 3 to 0.
We however did win $10.00 which almost paid for our dinner that night.
I drove home thru Jesup, late that night my car wanted to bend to the left and so did I, I thot about you at the corner anyway.

I sincerely hope you arrived home Saturday with out a mishap, I was in bed at 10.30, Sunday at the game Buzz, and a few more wore a size 16 hat and felt terrible and there I was as fresh as a young robin, no fooling it was practicably a pleasure. We have a very sick horse at the farm, he has sleeping sickness. the Vet told us today that he had a very slim chance of recovering, it was our best ridding horse, we sure hate to think of losing him.

Now I want you to write me about you, I hope you had a very nice week end, I enjoyed the part of it or the few hours of it that you were here and although we did very little, I hope you had a little fun.

If I am not prying into your personal affairs to much,you might let me know whether or not you are supposed to have any more dates.

As I have very little space left on this sheet I will have to let up, however Dorothy, I am looking forward with a great deal of enthusiasm for a letter from you, so snap it up.

As ever
“Ding”

My Dear Dorothy:

Was surprised and delighted today at noon when the post man handed me your letter.
I did’nt expect to hear from you so early in the week, however right off hand I don’t know of a better way to start the week.

Yes I did hear Charlie McCarty, sunday night,I also heard Freddie Martin, play Josephine, I don’t know how to spell that song but it brought me some very happy thoughts.
I also spent sunday at the farm, my ducks are getting to smart, they are flying all over the place, next sunday I will clip their wings so they won’t pull out for Florida, on me some day and leave me alone in this cold climate, I have a couple nice fat drakes selected to afford a duck dinner of no small consequence.

Now about K.K. as you put it,I can go either Tues. or Wed. the latter is fine with me, however if you prefer Tue. you will have to call me.
Do you think you can get a ride up here, if not I can come after you, if you can what time will you be here, if you get here early enought we can eat here or enroute or whatever the situation calls for.
I had to come back to the store to write you this as I did not have time today, Phil Rausch, just called me and wanted me to play poker tonight, I had to refuse as as soon as this is completed I am going home, I sure got in a mess of as’s did’t I.

I note with not a great deal of enthusiasm that you are going to Charles City, this weekend, I am sure you will have fun.

I can’t quite figure out when you wrote your letter, you said it took hours and I received it monday noon, evidently you met the train, anyway I was sure glad to get it.

The first thing saturday morning Beverly asked me if you were going to stay with her that night, I of course had to disappoint her.

Dorothy Be Baggio No. 2.

special,note page 2.

I feel I must remind you of something you evidently do hold as a little silly.
I have reference to you serious paragraph.
Dorothy, don’t ever apologize for that wednesday night again, I think it was wonderful, not one thing about it was dumb exept me and you will have to forgive me, but I think it was swell and think just a lot of you for it.

I am extremely sorry if my conversation or actions last friday night had the slightest intimation that I was not pleased with what happened Wednesday.

It is nine o’clock and a fellow a friend of mine just now came in and bought a suit, two birds with one stone you can’t beat that.

This is the longest letter I ever wrote and am just about out of gas, I didn’t know it took so long to write one letter.

Well Dorothy, Iam getting near the bottom of the page and about out of gas, so buzz one back at me quick and let me know when you will get here.

As ever
“Ding”

Dearest Dorothy:

With too much assurance there is no mistake in this heading.

At the approximate hour of 3 I am leaving for the farm via Cedar Falls, Don and I are going ridding, at the exact hour of seven I hope to listen to Charley in Grundy and at 9 or shortly after I will be in bed, brief, compact but my activities for today.

You have not answered my letter yet so there is not a great deal I can say in this, if when you get this you have not penned me a missive you had better get busy.

I was very ill all day saturday I thot for a while I would be unable to go to the dance but I felt better after dinner, I had a bad cold and felt as tho I might be getting the flue, I feel much better today.

######################
This is to denote lapse of time.

It is now 9:20 I have been to the farm and just stopped at the store to finish this letter.
Correction – Don did not go with me, he called and wanted me to go another place after a little verbal conflict I went my way and he went his.
I heard Charley in Grunday at Pat’s Grille, I was home alone exept for Ralph, no date and now going home to bed. don’t you think I’m a pretty good guy today.

Well Dottie, it is late and you owe me a letter so will cut, I should get a letter from you Mon.?

With Love.
