Hi,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t think of a more appropriate greeting right now so that will have to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m afraid this will be very short since it’s almost twelve o’clock and I haven’t even put my clean sheets on my bed yet, and I can’t very well sleep on the mattrass (spelling?) I wouldn’t write tonight except that I promised you that I would and besides I’m not too sleepy. (Wait till tomorrow morning). I hope you wrote me tonight because I need your letters to make life bearable, you know Ha. I’m getting so lazy now I can’t even pick up my pen I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you think of anything to say. I’m speechless except to tell you that I love you very much and that I’m afraid I don’t seem to be getting bored with loving you but I’m getting more interested and falling deeper all the time. That’s the way it appears to me anyway, and I should know since it’s me I’m talking about. That may be a little mixed up but you’ll get the point I’m sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I’d get more ambitious and study this semester because I think my ranks are going down, but I just don’t feel like studying and when I do feel like it there is always somebody bothering me or something. I’m beginning to think half the reason I come home is to get away from jokes all the time. The other half of the reason I’ll let you guess but it begins with Thelma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve really got to turn in. It will be 12:30 before I get to bed now and I have to be up at 7:00. So I’ll see you later and try and write a better letter to you. Kiss all your boyfriends for me if you see them (with your hand, that is) Be good darling, and I’ll see you Friday. I love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nite,
Jim<\/p>\n\n\n\n
