Dear Sis:
I heard about Florence See’s illness, and I certainly hope she gets better quickly. Whatever you do, please keep from getting it yourself.
The Hawks A.C. held a bunco party last Tuesday, and Harry and I went. We each won prizes, Harry getting a bath towel and me getting a box of beautiful Christmas cards. Incidentally, Pete Link donated the cards. He is selling them this year for a dollar a box, so I got a good prize. There is a swell card in the box, which I have already marked for you.
Jerry makes his confirmation tomorrow night and Uncle Henry is his sponsor. I am sponsor for Conrad Trudeau, the boy who lives behind Wilson’s. Aunt Dell is Eleanor Pfleger’s sponsor.
The De La Salle alumni’s having their banquet to-night, but I can’t go, because it costs two-fifty a ticket.
Englewood High School play Saturday again Morgan Park for the city football championship. Of course Dick and I will see the game.
Arnold Heagberg and I went down-town yesterday to try and get a job at one of the big stores for the Christmas rush, but we didn’t succeed. Say a prayer for us, because we are going down again next Monday.
You better be sure to come home for the Christmas holiday, or I’ll come down to Milwaukee and get you.
You best brother,
Arthur
