Dear Irene:
We are preparing to install the Thermo-Glass door. We are unable to find the name of the party that installed this door. Do you happen to know their names ? I don’t like to leave it to Bill and Sandy.
These are probably very busy days for you in your electioneering. I think we are going to have a Republican President if all the various straw ballots mean anything. However, I am hoping that we will likewise have a Republican Senate. A split Congress would make plenty of trouble for Dewey if he is our next President.
Father is quite well. He sits up nearly every afternoon and enjoys the television near his bed. He is going to vote by mail.
I trust this finds Milton feeling better. I am sure he will feel much better when the Republicans really get in.
Right now I want to tell you how I appreciate your having Mary and Dotty to stay with you. If they are in the way, don’t hesitate to tell them to move out.
It may interest you to know that I plan about a four-day deer hunt up at Hessel on the 15th of November. I am taking with me three important fellows from the Ordnance [sic] Department in Detroit where we do all of our Army business. I am looking forward very much to the late outing which at that time of year is a thrilling experience.
My very best to Milt and Sally, and with much love, I am –
Sincerely yours
Fred
