Dear Dad:
Your Easter Cards with enclosures arrived as did your
birthday card also. Our Thanks, and appreciation from all of us to you for the
bit of Happy Easter that you sent. Acknowledgement of the receipt of your
letters is late as there have been numerous things to do since and before
Easter. However this letter will tell you that all has been received safely as
well as a package addressed to his Royal Nibs the Master Jr. from the H. &
S. Pogue Company. I did not open it but forwarded it to Winsted where Cameron
and Justine are spending most of this week.
We drove up Friday afternoon late arriving there at 8:45. It
was a nice change for all of us. I benefited by the two day vacation that I had
and I know that the two other members of the family will get a lot of good out
of their prolonged stay. I envy them for at this point I could do very nicely
with a week’s vacation at least. However that is not my lot. I sometimes regret
that I didn’t become a school teacher of some kind. I think I would have made a
good one and with it three months vacation in the summer and several weeks at
other times.
Saturday Mother Comstock had a little celebration in honor
of my birthday. She thought it was on the 8th, but at that what we
had to eat was just as good then as it would have been on the sixth. The Baileys
came in for diner and the main course was Turkey with all the fixings. A grand
treat it was, I only wish that you all could have been at the table too.
Saturday while in Winsted I went to see Dr. Royce about a
tooth that has bothered me this winter. Apparently there is an abscess on the root
and he advises having the molar extracted. Do you suppose that Dr. McMillan
would be able to recommend a Dentist here that would not charge too much and who
would know what it was all about. Dr. Royce did not think best to do it at
Winsted because the tooth would need treatment and stated that a dentist more
familiar with extraction could probably do a better job. Perhaps you have a
suggestion.
A young lady here in the office asked me the other day if I
knew of any good book that would depict the beginning and rise of
Presbyterianism. In other words a history of the Relegation, how it started and
by whom. Also the various splits that it has had. I told her that I did not know
off hand and that I would ask you, as you would know the best book of that kind
that is published. Give the name and author.
I was glad to hear that Freck was improving a little. I hope
that the improvement is continuous.
Thanks again for all that you have done for us, both now and
in the past.
Our Love to you all,
Your devoted Son,
Charles
