I got your letter today. You must have had quite a time. You must have looked either older or foolish in order for them to give you drinks (you old soak) Tsk, tsk, what will people say.
Jim’s fortieth letter to Thelma.
“I went to the dance at the Top Hat last night but although there were millions of girls I wasn’t in the mood for dancing. I’d much rather have been sitting home with you. Some people would call me crazy for wanting to stay in when there is a good dance around but I’d much rather have you for myself when I’m in one of those moods.”
