- well. Alfred is a very fine boy and is doing well in school.

My wife, Gladys, has had 13 lower teeth extracted and the poor girl is having quite a time of it. So sorry to hear of Uncle George being so ill. Let's hope an operation won't be necessary at all.

Glad and I expect to have Aunts Mary, Emily, Tom, Helen, Alfred here at, our, house for Thanksgiving Day.

Yes, the election was a big surprise and I agree that, no, party should be in power too long a time but the majority must be right after all and I think that Pres. Truman will be much better this new term with a more, , agreable Congress.
