Monday aft.

Dear Orville,

How am I doing? I have sold 8 glare chasers and one floor lamp to 2 people. So you see I really haven’t tried yet – and don’t intend to really work but think I can sell a few more just as easily. I wonder how you would prefer to manage about getting them here. You can decide & let me know. None of them are in any hurry for them so we could wait until we get ready to make another trip. I notice the campaign is over Oct. 28 so we could bring them sometime about Nov. 1^st or Thanksgiving or even Xmas. Or if you prefer you can come for me and bring them – or maybe you would prefer to ship them – As I said in the beginning you decide – By the way I sold all these at list price so you can depend on the commission.

Don & Mary Joe came and spent the aft with me yesterday (they are the ones who wanted the floor lamp & 4 glarechasers) They had a large Sat night so Don slept nearly all aft. no one was here except us as Mama & Papa had gone to Uncle Alvin’s. Late in aft (about 6:30) we drove to Club Royale (only because they serve good barbeque) and got a sandwich – it was very quiet up there – They are closing Chic Club for 3 mo. for possession of whiskey – we came right straight home after eating – Mama & Papa were home by that time.

Uncle Alvin is much worse than when you were here but better than he had been for several days. Ruth went home the day after we were there and only stayed 5 days & came back and stayed until this last Friday.

I promised Mary Joe I would come over to McKenzie one day this week. The weather is very hot and dry again more than it has been since I cam.

I went to Huntingdon this morning to see Dr. Douglas. I am feeling alright except I am menstruating just as I did last month also I am still not able to sleep at night. He gave me some medicine for resting. He complimented McGehee on the way he handled my care. Of course that made me feel good to know that he would have done exactly the same thing. However he told me some things that were not so encouraging – and some that sounded mighty good.

Tuesday a.m.

I was sorry I couldn’t hear you any better than I did last night. But glad you called – I called you Saturday night but of course as you know I ddin’t get you.

It is real cool here. We had a cloud last night but no rain.

There is is a little excitement across the street this morning – Harold’s mother came and tried to steal him from school.

Don’t do anything about sending the glarechasers until I come home then I will know exactly how many. I also think it better for me to come on the train. Then maybe we will come between now and Christmas. Anyway I want us to go to Macon as you promised.

I am looking forward to seeing you – in fact can hardly wait until Sunday but thought it would be better to wait until I am well again before I start. If I change my plans I will let you know otherwise meet me in Cartersville Sunday a.m.

There are so many things I have to tell you – But one thing which I will tell you over and over is –

I love you

Evelyn
