Dear Mom. Dad & All:-

     Eve will be well supplied with clothes for the wedding.  Her dress will be white satin, slipper satin I guess they call it.  She will wear an orange blossom headdress and a long veil.  I've got her a gold locket for a wedding present.  Dorothy will wear a blue taffeta dress pleated down the front from neckline to hem.  She will have a small blue head veil and long gloves to match, a gold headdress and gold shoes.  I won't see Eve's dress until the wedding, of course.  She has a dark gray suit with a pin stripe, the stripes being about an inch apart.  She has a sort of Monks skull cap hat of gray to match her suit, with a little veil on it.  She also got a royal blue dressing gown, something like Pete's, and a pair of blue bedroom slippers.  Blue is her favorite color.  She'll wear a white lace blouse with her suit.  Well I guess that's about all I can tell you along that line now.  I'll send you our wedding pictures as soon as we get them.  I almost forgot, Eve's bouquet will be pink carnations and Dorothy's, Tea Roses!

Love, Thatch.
