Portland, Oreg.,
Oct., 12, 1937.


Dearest Elsie,-

    It's 11:20 P.M. and I just got home, though I was thru work at 6 P.M. Oh no! I was not out catin' around tonite, it's just simply a case that I went to the union meeting tonite.
    Tomorrow night I have got to go to the Columbia Food Co. meeting. That's the meeting I dread; because they are going to ask us clerks a lot of questions which we are supposed to be able to answer. The questions will be such as: Why are we in the grocery business instead of some other business? What is the difference between gross profits and net profits? What right have we to expect a customer to trade with us instead of going elsewhere? How can each of us justify our position in the store? Of course, these questions which I have mentioned are easy to answer. But there will be about a 101 other questions that won't be so easy!
    The fine weather is continuing, and according to the papers we are going to have nice weather for some time yet to come. Well I sure hope so!
    Before I close, I want to say again, Darling, that I sure was glad to hear from you this morning and I hope that you continue to write me often. For this time I say Good-night!

      Forever Your Hun
               Irvin
