1961 HH's Letter to Catherine -Nov.30


 
[A copy of the backside of the letter is included since it is a flashback to the early days of Wells Mfg.  For more details about the history of Wells, see the blogposts at this link:  Wells History]

Thursday night, November 30, 1961

Miss Catherine Uible
1025 North B Street
Lake Worth, Florida

Dear Miss Uible:

Catherine, that is the way an important letter would start.  Since what I have to say or rather write is not too important I would at least give you the "important start".

As the News-Journal would read, John had a luncheon guest yesterday, Tommy Kuntzman, who spent part of the afternoon visiting with his host.

Serena is reading all the letters in sight on the table -- such as "corn", "flakes", "rice" and everything else in like vein.

Roberta is going strong on the music practice, especially at clean up time after mals.  She and Serena are both looking (?) forward to their report cards tomorrow.  Serena wants to get "S" and not "U" marks for her name.

Sounds like the Hortons are really taking care of our 7th grader.  Wonder what our excuse was in not getting you a pocket dictionary like Marianne wrote you?

How does school seem in LW?  How about the meals at school?  Think that Nancy Henderson called last night (she didn't identify herself to me) and wanted to know your address, gave her the B Street address.  Then she wanted to know if the K Street address was still OK.

Do you still get up early in the morning and how is the funny page in the Florida papers?  Don't forget to send us the diagram on the Knoxville "shortcut" for three weeks from today we will be down that way.

Am mailing to you an important letter -- you might endorse it to Uncle Bill on your bike rental charge.  Do the Hortons need any jacks or ropes?

Happy December,
Daddy
