Tues. night.

Dearest,

I received your letter this evening about writing, heck yes I want to keep it up. I’ve told you about the dates that I’ve had (that’s only been two) you kept telling me to go out and Bob and Bill kept after me all the time to get a date and they keep saying how you have dates up there. Jim C. was home last week-end and Bob asked him how you were coming along he said that you were doing pretty food for your self and I thought if you were going out up there I might as well go out to. It was between Mary or Shirely (sp) Ward and I knew Blizzard wouldn’t like it if I went with Ward in fact he wanted me to get a date and I told him I would ask Ward, he said if I did he’d never speak to me again. That left Mary and I don’t know of anyone else down here that I’d care to go with. That’s the truth.

Have Ruth and Bill got a crush on, he’s a swell fellow. Don’t pass out but I think I made honor roll this 6 weeks. Cline surprised me and gave me a B in Physics that made 3-B and 1-C and A in band. I am going to bring that Eng. up to a B if it’s at all possible.

I haven’t been able to talk all day the sore throat I had left but it took my voice with it.

Zoe you you don’t need to worry about me because I’ll always love you I’m the one thats got to worry. I hate to think of you up there with a couple thousand boys.

With love,

Tom
