Nov. 23 1927 Wednesday My own dear girl, Received two letters from you tonight. I sure had an enjoyable time as long as it lasted. Sure glad to get the dear letters. It sure helps a lot. I was certainly surprised and pleased that you called me last night. However I am sorry you missed the picture but hope you take in another good one tomorrow. I do not know just what I will do tomorrow. May go to Woodward and again I may go out and look at some cattle. I bought 16 head from M. A. Gibson yesterday. May try and fill out a car and ship a carload Saturday a week. The little old car has been having an easy time of it. I drove it into the garage the night Bonnie and I came home and she has not been moved since. Sarah and Jess taken Daddy and Ella up to Coldwater the Sunday Martin and Martha were down at Norman with us. Sarah and Jess came back the same day. Lewis taken them to the hotel for dinner. I have not heard from Dad or any of them. Burrel went out hunting this afternoon and left me 3 quails. I sure wish you and Maxine and Boys could have one apiece with Bonnie and I in the morning. I asked Bonnie if she wanted to go to the hotel for dinner but she said might as well eat at home. However if I am here I may take her to hotel anyways. Bonnie is mighty nice to me. We get along fine together. It is pretty cold here tonight but no snow or moisture. Glad to get your clipping. I was sure sorry about Waldo Watkins. I sure did like him. Do hope he can prove that he did not take the bonds but it looks bad. Too bad about McIntosh – the very picture of health and in the very prime of life. I do not think that the Session Extra will amount to anything. It is good newspaper copy – makes sale of newspapers good – but I do not think it will ever meet. I do not know what the program is for the State Bankers. I have not received my notice as yet. I am now giving quite a little thought to the service charge. You know the more I hear of these larger bankers telling about it, the less I think of it. The fact is I have stated several times there is two sides to it and I have about made up my mind that the service charge as it effects deposits and the number of checks you can write is not the proper thing. I am going to study this all out and it may be that I will take issue in the next Convention of Bankers that brings this question up. McMillan got in this afternoon. He said that he got into Norman about 1:00 am in the morning and got out again before anyone was up. Thus he did not get to see you which is all right. He talks too D--- much. Never met his equal. Bonnie has been looking everywhere for a pattern that belongs to Mrs. Davis. Said she was going to write you right away; wanted to know last night if I said anything to you about it over phone. I do not know what pattern but I get it that it must be one that she borrowed to make something for Maxine or one of Ethel's ( Ethyl ) kids. If you know anything about it tell her. Well dear heart I wish I could be with you tomorrow. I don't see how I can wait until December convention, but I must. So I guess I will get through some way. I hope you take in some good shows and while I hope of course that you miss me still I hope you will enjoy the day. Have you gotten the stove hooked up in the bathroom? I wish you had some hot water and I was able to take a bath in it and then hurry into bed with you. O gee would it be nice. With love and best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to you, Maxine and Boys. Tell Sam I hope his team wins tomorrow and that I will be watching the papers. Again goodnight my own dear sweetheart. Your boy Percy |
