you and I will have a few golf battl while
Peaks 5 Sit Gal 4 teh of thdoes to get to play with you, and I know
Mit can arrange it. -

Of course, something might some up that you sould not make the
trip, but in that case you keep the money and spend it the way you desire.

We are leaving Friday night without Charlie Black, and of course
that will be quite a load, but our boys are imbued with the determination
to turn in a good pair of ball games although we may get whipped one or
maybe both the games. I would be surprised if we lose both of them. How-
ever, ee ee ee an northern trips because the etyle of
pleying is so mich different end the officiating is foul this year because
so many fellows are in the service,

Charlie’s temperature has been normal two days and I just have a
report from the hospital today that it is continuing normal. I talked to
Dr. Peete today and he said he would stand on his reputation that Charlie
did not have pneumonia. However, it is needless to have any controversy
about the matter, but I would bank on Dr. Peete'’s diagnosis as better than
some of the others. And Dr. Canuteson has not stated emphatically that
he had pneumonia, so it leaves but one physician with the diagnosis of
pneumonia and he is a practicing physician in town. Some doctors diagnose
cases as pneumonia so that they have a great reputation as curing pneumonia.

I wish that I might have a longer time to write you but it seems
I never get around to doing all the things I want to. Give Eleanor my love
you see her and tell her that I always enjoy reading her letters and
+ to write her but something generally crowds my time so that I am
unable to go through with my good intentions.

I am glad you are feeling better and I hope that you will be able
to make arrangements to come home for a short visit. With all good wishes,

Affeotionately,

Your Dad
