Dear Archie & Mabel,
Grandfather has
gotten so he can’t write much any more so I am his secretary. Nettie sent this
letter here to him and he asked me to send it on and write a few words. He is
pretty weak most of the time but not sick. Eal’s about as usual but can’t walk
without help. Can’t read much any more either so the time goes slow for him.
The rest of us are O.K. The girls very
busy with last of school stuff. Tonight is the Junior Senior banquet. Elaine
has a floor length dress of pale blue embroidered organdy, white sandals and a
corsage of fresh flowers in pink & white. Has had her hair done at the
beauty parlor and is taking a little rest before she gets ready. (That is
probably something like what will be doing at your house, 13 or 14 years
hence.) Well, you will enjoy seeing Shirley enjoy it and just think what the
folks who don’t have them to plan for and spend their money on miss. Elizabeth
is to serve so she will enjoy it too. She will wear a navy blue dress and tiny
white apron and a white thing like a maids cap in her hair. She getting ready
now for the waitresses must be there by 6 o’clock. Wilma and Richard are
playing ball on the west side of the house. Kathleen has gone to town on an
errand and Wm is of course out with the truck. Business is picking up now so Wm
is pretty busy.
We hope you are all O.K. again. Write when you have time.
Joe sent a letter of yours to Father, Archie & her enjoyed it a lot. So did
the rest of us. You write a very interesting letter.
Love and best wishes, Katie
