Dearest Hal,

I wish you could have been here with me today listening to the World Series. After my thinking the Dodgers were practically a cinch to win, the St. Louis Cards came from behind to place first. The Yankees of course are getting so they feel quite at home playing in the series by this time. The Yanks took this first game 7 to 4. The Cards rallied in the last half of the ninth with 3 runs; they had made one in the 7^th inning. Red Ruffin set a new series record by pitching a no hit game for 7 2/3 innings.

I didn’t get to hear the first four innings because I had to substitute in the first grade at S.D. school today. I wish I had applied for a school but couldn’t quite make up my mind to leave Sam as mother wasn’t well. Now she is better and I guess I could do it. There are very few teachers and some of those are taking better paid gov. jobs so I may still have a chance to get a school here. I don’t want to do substitute work because that is harder than regular teaching and not so well paid. I guess I can keep plenty busy night here at home so I really don’t need another job.

All my love
