It will be when you read this anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got your letter today with that impressive letterhead. (Ha). It was a very nice letter considering the time you had to write me. I really didn&#8217;t expect one half as long. Thanks a lot, honey. I really want to here from you this week. It will be another week before I&#8217;ll see you so I have to depend on your letters to make life good again. That may sound silly, it probably is, but there is a lot of truth to it. Honest, kiddo, I really miss you and that&#8217;s no lie. I don&#8217;t know what it will be like next week, maybe better, maybe worse. All I know is that I&#8217;ll be awful glad to see you a week from Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m glad your having a good time on the trip. I knew you would anyway, but I&#8217;m glad you are anyway. (Too many anyway&#8217;s, huh?) I hope that you will remember some of the jokes you heard in [Burlesque??]. I know you&#8217;ll want to tell them to me. I noticed in your letter that you said you were embarrased. Tsk, tsk, you should have known better. You can tell me about it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You sounded if you were going to be a nice girl and not be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">too<\/span> friendly with the boys on your trip. (In your letter I mean) I hope so although, I did go out last weekend. I took Janice out last Sunday night. We went to the movies then <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">rode<\/span> and talked until <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">10:45<\/span> and then I went home like a good little boy. I had a very nice time and we had an interesting talk but that&#8217;s all of importance that happened. You don&#8217;t need to worry. (as if you would) I&#8217;d have much rather gone out with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ve got my English mid-semester tomorrow so I&#8217;d better get my sleep. Goodnite darling, I love you an awful lot, (jr too)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<br>Me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.S. Write soon, huh? Love again, Jim. It must be spring that makes me feel this way. Love again, more after that too, me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It will be another week before I&#8217;ll see you so I have to depend on your letters to make life good again.
