Dear Folks:
            Went to Milwaukee and back. Met all the Lyters except Dottie. What a family! Dr. razzes Arlan about a supposed cut of $10 a month which he thinks he deserves for his share in getting Arlan’s and four other guys commissions. He says he would forget Arlan’s $10 a month if he would only get the other four to chip in! Dr. is somewhat of an accomplished politician. Dottie had to stay at school for some reason. Jack and Ruth were up there. When we got there about 10:30 P.M. Sat. the choir was having a party in the basement of the church. Everyone was dressed just as they were when Mrs. Lyter called them up Sat.
            Must catch up on school work. Built a transmitter last week and working on another this week. Arlan didn’t know where he would go yet.

P.S. Took some pictures in Milwaukee and will send the roll to Marvel Lee.
