Scans of Jim’s fifth letter to Thelma.
In letter 3 Jim mentions fires shutting down the school and in letter 4 having to go off and fight them. Turns out these were the worst fires in Maine’s history.
“Please forgive me but I really cannot believe that you are home pining away for me. If it’s really that bad I’ll come home and comfort you because I hate to see you waste away into nothing.”
Scans of Jim’s fourth letter to Thelma.
“Tom tells me you sent him a picture of yourself. Well, I like that!!! Don’t you think my morale needs lifting too? Loosen up! Send me one, too (Or maybe, one, two.)”
Scans of Jim’s third letter to Thelma.
“You asked me if I went to all the games. I have so far and I intend to see all of them if possible. I just go because if I do I might see you. (That’s my confession) Now I know what you’ll say. Such a line. Well, as I said before that all depends on how you look at it. I’ll let it go at that.”
Scans of Jim’s second letter to Thelma.
“Hi beautiful,
I’m going to write a letter for only two reasons. 1) Because I have nothing better to do, and 2) to let you know that I still am going to give you my picture. I know (?) you won’t hold my insults against me. Besides, I can’t let Tom get ahead of me writing to girls, you in particular.”
