Dear Family,Hi! Well the first part of the convention started last night with a Doctor Southerland giving a speech & all. It was pretty neat & all getting close to a real live candidate. OH-Yes he (Dr. Southerland) is a Rep. & running for Congressman of 18th district.
This morning each candidate had 1/2 of an hour to campaign. Wow – what a mess. Stuff coming out of windows – every thing went.
I got your letter yesterday with the check & all. Thanks. We got our pictures taken yesterday. I could not find my glasses so of course I don't have my glasses on in the pictures. (I found them in my duster later) Boy! OH – yes - - - - I also got my bangs cut so they all comb down in order to cover all my bald spots. But trouble is my bangs are REALLY short!
I'm leaving on the bus for Wheeling at 8:15 in St. Claresville. I'll be in Wheeling at 8:45. My appointment is at 9:20 so I've got enough time & all. (I hope!) Mrs. Hinerman said she could meet me at the bus station so I wrote her telling what time I would get in on the bus. If she does not meet me I'll probably take a taxi to the doctors. Since I'm not all that acquainted with Wheeling's streets.
The convention goes on – I'm a Maryland delegate. Big thrill! Reagen's group gave free Brownies. Each group had something to try & get your vote.
Hi! (again) We had to go over all this proposal platforms – what a time consuming thing! We won't get to the election until tonight. That will be the best part.
Well, I better be closing. Thanks alot for the letter & check. The portrait is really nice. I'll be sure & let know about what the specialist has to say.
Love,
Roberta
