Fri, Oct 17, 1947: nightly talk

"October 17, 1947
"99
"Darling,
"After a good evening's entertainment I sit down to my typewriter for my nightly talk with you.  Now that the number of figures in the above number is reduced to two I'm a happier man. In just a little over 14 weeks we'll be man and wife."

--Letter from my father, Protection, Kans., to my mother, Winfield, Kans., Friday, October 17, 1947.  At the top of many of the letters between my parents, they wrote the number of days until their wedding day.  This letter was written 99 days before their wedding, January 24, 1948.
