Dear
Father, Mother, and the rest of the folks at home,
Well,
for the last two days it has certainly looked like rain in sunny
southern Calif but it has not done anything about it except look like
it. Tonite it appears to be clearing tho so perhaps we shall have
clear weather for awhile. If it doesn’t start to rain soon this may
turn out to be a record dry year for Los Angeles and vicinity.
Ann
Marie’s pictures arrived on Monday. They certainly were very nice
and very welcome. Sometimes I think I shall have to take my vacation
sooner than next Christmas in order to see her. She looks eery bit as
sweet as Kathryn Ann did, and I think she smiles wider smiles too. I
guess Al will be really happy to get them.
I
got two other letters on Monday, mother’s usual one and one from
Pastor Wellington. They had a nice trip east and are fairly settled
now. Kathryn Ann had caught a little cold. The parsonage there is
larg and I guess the furniture they took along from Calif looks lost
in it.
My
work continues about as usual. There is another scare about the
draft going around again. I do not know whether it is serious or not.
I
saw a show over the weekend — Bob Hope in “The Princess and the Pirate”
and it was really funny altho not as funny as some of his previous
pictures. Dwight saw it also and he too thought it was pretty good.
The companion feature was so-so in my opinion, but Dwight thought it
strictly stinko.
Tonite
the Board met briefly down at church to consider the letter to be
mailed to the congregational members before the special
congregational meeting next Feb 27. I am certainly wondering how
things will turn out that night.
As
you say, you might as well keep the typewriter till later in the
spring. I don’t need it in my work, but wanted it only as a
convenience. Perhaps if I am drafted it would be nicer to have it
back home since it is sort of clumsy to ship.
It
is after ten now and I am sleepy, so I shall stop.
With
love
C.P.
P.S.
I am enclosing Uncle Carl’s check.
