39-xx-xx Writing To Walter (audio version) date

Episode 39-xx-xx Writing To Walter (aka 'Letter to Walter') is obviously undated except the year, 1939.

But after careful listening and note-taking last night I can pinpoint the exact month and within a range of a few days.

There are two audio clues we are given:

The first thing is that Sade mentions in this episode that the Donahues have just moved away (to Oakland Avenue, though, she doesn't say that) so the episode has to take place after that, which is May 1, 1939.

The second thing is that Sade mentions in this episode that she is going to take a trip to Carberry to visit her sister in the near future.  We know she left on her trip to Carberry on May 10, 1939.

After reviewing these clues, we KNOW for a fact that the episode took place in May of 1939 and we can assume it took place sometimes between the 2nd and 5th and possibly the 6th (they sometimes had shows on Saturday but exactly when that was, I don't know for sure.)

At any rate, I'm now going to date the show as 39-05-xx.
