November 19, 1941 Dear SB: Thanks for your letters and also for your note of to-day. We shall be expecting you on Saturday morning, and will be very happy to see Barbara if she can come. Sorry that the boys couldn't make it. If you should find yourself entirely alone, will you please ask grandma to come out with you on Saturday am for a few days visit. She has expressed the wish to come, and I have just written her to be ready in case you are alone. If Barbara should be with you, she will understand that bets are off (meaning grandma will understand). I am planning to be in Atlantic on Friday night of this week. The Southwest Iowa Farm Managers Association is having a dinner at the Whitney Hotel at 6:30 that evening and Howard Hill of Minburn is to be the speaker. He was with a group that visited South America last spring, and his recital should full of interest. Should it work out that you can make Atlantic by that time, please plan to go with me. The extra tickets for the game will fit nicely with George's wishes, as he asked me last night if he could ask Bill Gill to go along, as Bill took him to see one of the games down there. I assume that there will be only on extra unless Barbara passes. We shall be mighty glad to see you. While you are here we shall embrace the opportunity for putting the closing comments and arguments on the subject of our recent correspondence. I am pleased that we find ourselves In such close accord, but any substantial divergence would have been surprising. It seems to me that we can clear the whole picture with some further discussion. To-night we shall listen to Mr. Hoover. His articles have been mighty good, in the SEP. Tomorrow night mother and I will attend Sonja Henie's show, which we had originally agreed to eschew. It certainly looks like the situation is coming rapidly to a boil, doesn't it? I refer to the Jap problem and the domestic strike situation. Most regrettable that the country, and possibly the democracies of the world, must suffer a drastic setback because of Rosie's short sighted policy with labor. More of that when you get home. Love Pop
