Dart’s “letter” today is another postcard, crammed full with neat, tiny print and adorned with several hand-drawn butterflies to symbolize the state of his stomach.

It is apparent that Dot had yet another surprise shower in the form of a dinner party for 40 people at Harriet and George’s house. More lovely gifts and more embarrassment for Dot. Dart seems very impressed with the amount of fuss the Connecticut contingent is making over Dot and her pending nuptials.

The first “installment” of wedding gifts from his parents made its debut today; a shiny new GE coffee maker. Dart hasn’t been able to keep his hands off it. There are a couple more items to be presented at a later time.

He retrieved his trousers from the Higbee tailor today and is happy his shopping list is dwindling to just a few more items.

They got an invitation to Elmer Manley’s wedding today. It’s on the 14th, so Dart will be unable to attend, but it makes their wedding seem so close, following Elmer’s as it does by just six days.

The biggest letters on the card are the ones that spell out “I love you, Dot!”

Dart doesn’t write again until May 31, but check back tomorrow for a little surprise from Dot.
