Letter from Earl - 1933


216 - 4th Ave. So.
Grand Forks, N. Dak.
Saturday 24, 1933

Dear Mother,

We were very happy to get your letter and learn that you are feeling well. It is certainly fine that your health is better than it was last year or the year before. I know you enjoy getting out so much I'm glad you can go to meetings, entertainments, the temple, etc.

We should like to be with you on Father's birthday, but will be thinking of you on that day. Thanksgiving always reminds us of Father because it is so close to his birthday.

The other day Della said that a lot of my actions and expressions were like Father's. I only hope I can be like him in other ways as well. He truly lived a good and honorable life. I'm deeply indebted to him and you as are all of the other children. The other day I took out some new life insurance and the examining doctor was deeply impressed with my family. He said it was most remarkable (11 children and the Mother - all living and the youngest 30 years old). He also said I was in very good physical condition.

The commerce school faculty are having Thanksgiving turkey together as we have done in the past two years. There are five families including 9 children. Last evening one of my students brought me some venison, a nice roast.  We had some of it today for dinner. It was delicious.

Della cut her hair this week. She has had it long for so long it looks quite different now.

Bob tries to say everything and is getting quiet fat. We try to watch ourselves and say "excuse me" when we leave the dinner table. Bob never forgets to say it himself and takes great delight in reminding us when we forget. He will say "Ha! Ha! Daddy, Excuse" or "Joy Ha! Ha! Excuse" etc. to whoever happens to forget.

There is a regular blizzard again today.

With much love,
Earl
