Dear Folks:                                                3 April 45
            Well, back at school again. Had a nice week-end. I got to Milwaukee about 8 P.M. Sat. Dottie was home so I got to meet her. Arlan got there about midnight. Jack & Ruth could not come, of course, because of his work at Springfield. They are going up to Lyter’s to-day, however. Guess Jack was getting a little homesick.
            Four of us went to the Sunrise Service at 6 A.M. It was a pageant and was very good. Dr. Lyter had to hold two services to accomodate the crowd in the church since it is rather small for a 1000 membership. Mr. & Mrs. Glass came to Lyter’s for dinner and we took a short drive along the lake. The weather was perfect. The warmest Easter Lyter’s have seen there in 25 yrs. I left a[t] 6:30 and Arlan was going to leave about 9: PM.
            Sounds like Aunt Jessie is quite a show-goer. It is nice that she goes out some. The gas stations don’t seem to want the license on the coupon here. Let it go, it isn’t important, besides I hope to get some leave the latter part of May and I could use an[y] old dirty coupons lying around. It rained here to-day and is much cooler to-night. Must get to bed.

P.S. Milwaukee was a regular fashion parade Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Lyter was all decked out. and Dottie.
