Hi Little One,
I suppose your all tired out now that your trip is over. It will be when you read this anyway.
I got your letter today with that impressive letterhead. (Ha). It was a very nice letter considering the time you had to write me. I really didn’t expect one half as long. Thanks a lot, honey. I really want to here from you this week. It will be another week before I’ll see you so I have to depend on your letters to make life good again. That may sound silly, it probably is, but there is a lot of truth to it. Honest, kiddo, I really miss you and that’s no lie. I don’t know what it will be like next week, maybe better, maybe worse. All I know is that I’ll be awful glad to see you a week from Friday.
I’m glad your having a good time on the trip. I knew you would anyway, but I’m glad you are anyway. (Too many anyway’s, huh?) I hope that you will remember some of the jokes you heard in [Burlesque??]. I know you’ll want to tell them to me. I noticed in your letter that you said you were embarrased. Tsk, tsk, you should have known better. You can tell me about it anyway.
You sounded if you were going to be a nice girl and not be too friendly with the boys on your trip. (In your letter I mean) I hope so although, I did go out last weekend. I took Janice out last Sunday night. We went to the movies then rode and talked until 10:45 and then I went home like a good little boy. I had a very nice time and we had an interesting talk but that’s all of importance that happened. You don’t need to worry. (as if you would) I’d have much rather gone out with you.
Well, I’ve got my English mid-semester tomorrow so I’d better get my sleep. Goodnite darling, I love you an awful lot, (jr too)
Love
Me
P.S. Write soon, huh? Love again, Jim. It must be spring that makes me feel this way. Love again, more after that too, me.
