16. 6 page handwritten note in black pen on University of Michigan College of Dental Surgery paper written by Gordon Sindecuse to his aunt and uncle, Grace and Bert Salway, Jonesville, Michigan. Includes original envelope stamped from Ann Arbor on 03/18/1919 at 3 P.M. The letter transcript is as follows: Mar. 18, 1919. Ann Arbor, Mich. Dear Aunty (I knew you would be my aunty all the time. For B.S. told me so.) and Uncle: Received your letter yesterday and am making a prompt answer. Before I go on with this letter, I would like to ask you if you ever intend to answer that letter of mine, which you received just before you was [sic] married [underlined]. I spoke about it in my last letter but you don't seem to send a reply. School is not so much fun after all. I will give you my daily routine. Up a six o clock in the morning. Breakfast at seven. From here I go to an eight o clock class. From eight to [illegible] I have classes. At [time illegible] I rush to dinner. I gobble my dinner then go to my room and get some more books and go to a one o'clock class. I have classes from one to five thirty. At 5:30 I rush home and wash the stink off my hands and then go eat. After supper I go back to my room and commence studying for the next day. Never get done before 11:30, generally 12:30. It is one h- of a life. (By the way I have this 6 days a week) I am taking anatomy and that is what keeps me going. I can killa man or woman now and think nothing of it. I could crush their heads with an axe or even pick them to pieces with a needle. You get used to it. I cut on a man or woman every day, 6 days a week. Believe me I can telly ou all about your self and Bert to the minutest details. Even to the muscle that raise and lower the hair. You will probably think I like the course because I work on man and woman but you are mistaken. I just simply depise this course. I am certainly sorry to hear that Clelah is not getting along for [sic] very well. I am afraid that what I told her was pretty nearly true. I sincerely hope that it don't disable her in any way. It certainly is a shame to look forward to something and then have it go in the head. It would not have been so bad if the baby could have been all right but to have both of them go wrong I shoudl think it would about drive her crazy. I tell you just one thing Grace in this letter and if I ever seen you I may tell you some more. Rest don't never go nuts over these medical books you buy.Use a little common horse sense as Bert use to say. These books may be all right for someone that has taken anatomy, physiology and medicine, and of course they are good in some way for any body but there is a lot of thing in them that is merely bunk. Grant certainly must have a hard time of it and must have a hell of a lot on his mind if he ever did have. Grandpa has gone and traded Star. I certainly should think he would be lost. He thought Star was just about right. How does Grandma make it during this spring weather? You and her had better come up and see me during spring vacation as I don't believe I had better denture down your way. Grandma ought to get away with a bit now seeing you are there. It certainly is funny that you two are staying with the old folks as Bert always told me he would never do. I am afraid Bert has change his ideas considerable [sic] since your heart took hold of him. Ha! Ha! Keep it up Grace, doing a great deed any way. Ha! Ha! How delighted Grandma must have been to hear that his son B.S. was married. I don't believe he ever thought it could happen. I am thinking about this marriage question. I wonder how it happened that Bert did not send me any cigars. He must be getting tight as the dickens if he can't furnish cigars in honor of his better half! I am next on the list to get married I will be married before I get out of school if business keeps up as well as it has in the last two months. Ha! Ha! How is Roy and Minnie making it? I hear from them once in a while. She don't write as often as she used to before she was married. I hope you don't get that way. It don't make any difference married life is the only thing. You have practically got to be married to have a wife or women. How about it. If you think of that. I thought I would try and have one without being married but I am afraid I would get caught. Well I guess my time is limited for this evening. Don't forget the cigars and tell Grandma to come up and see [us]. About April the 4th. Give Bert my love and best regards for his future happiness hoping that I may see you folks some time. Same as ever, Gordon B.S. Better answer that other letter Grace. I am glad to know that you was not mad at me. For I felt pretty blue for awhile. Clelah said "you and all rest down there were sore at me!" Good bye
