typed letter postmarked November 8, 1936

Sunday afternoon

Dear Lee ---
    Well, you old Democrat, how does it feel to still be in power?  Personally I think it is a big mistake for you Demo.s to be in again but we hope for the best.
    Why didn't you go to Silverton?  Surely there are some good looking girls over there.
    So you have been stepping out on me, huh?  Going up and eating dinner with La Forges. Am I mad? Am I mad?
    There's really not much new from this end of the country.  Tuesday night a WWG meeting. Wednesday night Play practice. Thursday a Sophomore class Barbeque that was a flop as far as I was concerned.  The meat was good but the crowd was a mess.  
    Friday and Saturday I stayed home and in a few minutes I have  committee meeting and then tonight I lead BY on Building---the same lesson that I lead at home just before I came.
     Armistice Day will soon be here, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas!
      This is a poor excuse for a letter but you that I'm well and happy so I guess that will have to suffice.
                                Bet
P.S.  Mom sent me clippings telling of Opal Garland's wedding and a shower for Vena Holst who is to be married soon.  What is the younger generation coming to?

editor's note: Franklin Roosevelt won by a landslide in 1936. Bet was a lifelong Republican, Lee a Democrat.  That was always a puzzle to their kids.
