X\u2019s for junior<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Honey, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\u2019s every little thing? I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t write last night, but I really was tired when I finished studying. It\u2019s supper time now but I just thought I\u2019d drop in to say howdy. Howdy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you go to the movies last night? I wish I could have stayed home and gone with you. I suppose that I should put business before pleasure once in a while. Anyway, I\u2019ll be home Friday. If you\u2019re a good little girl and you write to me I\u2019ll call you up Friday and I might possibly get a date with you. If someone else hasn\u2019t beat me to it that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi again beautiful. I\u2019ve just come back from the movies. It was \u201cCall Northside 777<\/a>\u201d with Jim Stewart. Pretty good<\/a>. I didn\u2019t have much studying for a change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a theme back today with a B-<\/span>, the first theme I wrote this semester too. (Probably the last, also.) Ah, well, that\u2019s 1 B per semester in my themes. Terrific, huh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gosh it\u2019s ten to eleven already. My how the time does fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is anything going on this weekend? There\u2019s a good dance Thursday, huh? Well, dance one for me if You go (As if you wouldn\u2019t go, that is.) Oh yes, if any or all my girlfriends are there get a kiss from them and then you<\/span> can give them to me when I get home. (Any excuse you know.) Just don\u2019t collect too many from your boyfriends, it might smudge you lipstick, and I wouldn\u2019t want that to happen. (What a subtle way of expressing myself, psychology, that\u2019s what it is.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nates father went to Boston this week and left him the car here so I may get a ride to Lewiston Friday. That will be a good start anyway. I wish I had a car down here, but I\u2019ve got no bucks [?] coming, I guess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder if I should start another page. Well, I\u2019ll try but I\u2019m not promising much. I\u2019m not the most informative writer in the world. In fact, I\u2019ve run out of conversation already. Disgusting isn\u2019t it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you notice that I have kept away from the<\/span> subject. I\u2019m just experimenting a little, seeing how long I can go without letting myself get over-emotional (whew) again. In my letters, that is, not at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to see Mary before I came back here Sunday. She just the same as she always was, in talking etc. that is. I really don\u2019t see how she does it. She hasn\u2019t even got enough flesh on her for them to stick a needle into. I\u2019m not kidding, either. I wish there were something that could be done for her but I guess she\u2019ll have to fight it out herself. I never knew T.B. was like that. Most of the people I know that have had it just went away for a while and then got better. Since I\u2019ve been over to see Mary in the last 10 months nobody in her section has lived that stayed there very long after they entered the hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s in the section where all the bad cases are taken. It\u2019s not the best atmosphere for her. She can\u2019t help but wonder about herself I suppose, although she never seems to worry about not getting better. Anyway she\u2019s fooled all the doctors so far. I hope that she can keep it up. I guess that\u2019s enough of that. Please don\u2019t mind the talk. I just wanted to get it out of my system more or less. It seems so unfair. Just please don\u2019t tell people how bad she is. I shouldn\u2019t tell you I suppose but then, I have to talk to someone. Enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s 11:30 now so I\u2019d better close, I guess. I hope I get a letter from you tomorrow even if I didn\u2019t write till today. Maybe the length of this will make up a little but it isn\u2019t the pleasentest letter I suppose. Oh well my moods, I guess. I miss you very much tonight for some reason honey. I wish I could talk with you and go for a walk or something. I\u2019m in that kind of a mood. I love you very much, darling, more than this paper or pen can say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. I\u2019d like to repeat myself if I may; I love you so very much darling. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
