Letter of Apology to Squire

Originally Aired: June 25, 1935 In Lum & Abner #137, “Writing Letter of Apology to Squire,” guilt looms large in Pine Ridge after Squire Skimp's unexpected injury at the Planetarium. As the town buzzes with concern, Lum wrestles with remorse, prompting him and Abner to compose a heartfelt letter of apology—despite Abner's confusion over old sayings like “locking the barn door after the horse is stolen.” Misunderstandings multiply, even as the duo earnestly tries to do right. Meanwhile, Squire lies in bed, dramatically milking his injury while Doc Miller remains baffled by the lack of physical damage. Packed with comedic banter and surprising empathy, this episode shines with character and classic rural wit. Cast: Chester Lauck (Lum Edwards), Norris Goff (Abner Peabody), with supporting voices including Doc Miller and Squire Skimp Tags: LumAndAbner, oldtimeradio, 1930scomedy, JotEmDownStore, SquireSkimp, PineRidge, radiohumor, vintagebroadcast, apologyletter, Horlicks, ruraldrama, classicradio, vaudeville, PlanetariumTheater, guiltyconscience, comedyoferrors, Abnerlogic, DocMiller, nohardfeelings
