Dearest Family --
Couldn't sleep so got up to get letter started as won't be able to have use of a typewriter this evening. We plan to leave for Louisville after dinner today -- the National Commissioner's meetings and activities don't begin until tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. The girls are going to stay by themselves this time -- not that they haven't been capable before but we are to just be gone for three days. With them working they will be plenty busy. They have been working in the rubber room this past week. They were glad to get away from the monotony of the folding of jump-ropes but after about three hours of 325º over the rubber presses their old jobs look welcoming. They developed several burns -- not large ones but I was glad to hear that they won't be back there next week.
The weather here has been quite sultry -- in the 90's -- not high compared to Phoenix-Mesa area but the humidity made it seem worse. I've made good use of the sun dresses I got in Arizona -- Mary Virginia hasn't worn hers -- guess our taste doesn't suit her, Roberta.
Sure sorry to hear about all the problems that you have had with your teeth that you had pulled -- guess it isn't the teeth now but the infection that set in afterwards in your gums, ear and nose as a result of the extraction, Roberta. Hope by the time you receive this your problems will be in the past in regard to this. Do keep us informed -- wondered if you were feeling well enough to go to Payson this past weekend.
Enjoyed your letters, Serena, Catherine and John and also the enclosures in each. You are really surprising us, Serena, and we have come to expect something each week now. Don't envy you in the Chicago heat and your climb to your 4th floor apartment. Hope you have been able to make some arrangements about your bike or do you take it up and down each time you ride it? Chicago is or has been in the news about their raising of bus fares.
We enjoyed the article about the Newark clock in the court house, John. That was timely right after our visit. We passed on your letter to the Hortons and they are looking forward to having you visit in September. Aunt Mary says she has two meetings scheduled about that time so she is sure to be home and says that it won't interfere with them.
We also shared the rest of the family letters with the Hortons and sent the Juniper Bank's report on to John as we thought he would be most interested. We didn't remember that being the name of the bank -- has it changed or is it our imagination? Interesting about your golf game, Catherine -- sorry that I made you late in meeting your partner that day. How is your new minister? The Thompsons next door have been busy working out in the parsonage yard -- he uses a grass catcher on the mower so it does look very nice. Burned some trash across the street to clean up some of the stumps and have been amazed that the fire has been smoldering for the third day now -- be nice to think that we had struck an oil well.
Thursday evening we went to Wilmington college Theater "Summertree", which we especially enjoyed as one of our square dance friends (and the wife of a Wilmington . . . . [indecipherable]
. . . Uncle Bill is going to high school class reunion on the weekend. They they are going to Mares. Nothing like discovering the hard way that this typewriter is in the interim has been put on double spacing. Grandma remarked on Wendy's picture that "she looks like a 6 year old". Now it is hard to recall when our own children were at the preschool age.
[Love to all, etc.]
