“As you said in your letter, I may be able to give you my picture in the next two weeks; that is, if I’m still with you enough so that I can’t help but give it to you. We’ll see. “
Scans of Jim’s thirteenth letter to Thelma.
“Wish I could think of something to say but I’m all out of conversation except the private kind which I don’t like to have you know just yet (I’ll let you guess) But please don’t jump to conclusions like you did Sat. night. You know what I mean, you said the reason I went out with you was for the X’s I got out of it. “

“You know, I’m kind of foolish. I see you every weekend but I write to you twice a week anyway. You’d think that I hadn’t seen you for 2 months or something. Oh well, it gives me something to do. Just as if I didn’t have any studying.”

“I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for being such a wonderful partner at the dance the other night. I couldn’t ask for anyone better. In fact, I’ve been giving serious thought the question and have decided to ask you for a date next Sat. night. Would you do me the pleasure of accepting? It would please me very much if you would.”
Scans of Jim’s tenth letter to Thelma.
“I wonder why your mother wants you in at 12? I can’t imagine why. I never kept you out late. Oh well, I’ve been expecting that to happen anyway because it has been pretty late. From now on it shall be 12 on the dot. Hmm, that doesn’t sound so good does it. It cuts out at least an hour on every date.”
