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”
