September 1, 1967: Flight info

Letter postmarked September 1, 1967 (dated August 31):

The envelope for this letter has the correct zip code once again. The streak starts over at one.


Dear Mother,
When you let us know what day you are coming, be sure to include the flight number and the name of the airline. Dave says this is important but as I don't know anything about flying I didn't mention it in last letter.
We haven't done anything exciting this week so there is really nothing to write about.
Hoping to hear from you soon!
Love,
Linda
P. S. - Forgive the sloppy handwriting and briefness!

This is certainly the shortest letter so far. Reading between the lines I'm guessing after Mom mailed yesterday's letter she and Dad were talking about my grandmother's upcoming flight to visit us, and Dad was concerned that only the date and arrival time of the flight would be communicated. So Mom hurried up and wrote this short letter and got it in the mail. The handwriting isn't quite as neat as in the previous letters, but you have to compare them side by side to really notice that.
