My Dear Dorothy:

Just as I thought, we were very busy not so much this pm but very busy this morning just when I was’nt in the mood, but as you see I struggled thru the day.
How were you? i’ll bet you were in the sweet pea’s all day, a shining example for tots, however if they heard KK play Josephine twice as we did I am sure they would forgive you.
I think it was well worth the effort don’t you? it is’nt every day we can dance to a band like that.

Don said Kay was to the dance, we saw her Dad pushing a babe around in a very graceful manner, but I did not hear you mention that you saw Kay.

I certainly must have had my eyes shut as several people fom here saw me, also you, but I did’nt see them, mabe I was’nt looking for anyone.

Saturday there is a dance at the elks club and one at Oelwein, at oelwein Don Strickland and at the elks Court Hussy, take your pick, that is if you still intend to stay in these parts, which I hope you do.

I am expecting a letter from you in the morning mail and if there is’nt don’t read this one.

If you decide to come up Friday which is today now, I will be here or if you mention another suggestion in your letter I will see what can be done about it.

Have you heard from your Mother, is she coming Sat. or was that just fooling.

I am at the end of the page honey, so will close hoping you are the same, I remain as ever,

Yours truly
“Ding”
