Tom and Zoe are unable to get together at home as he had hoped. He explains that when he cuts classes, it is because he sleeps in, not because of the weather.

Dearest,

I am awfully sorry you can’t make it this weekend. I should have let you know sooner but I really didn’t know. If I had known sooner that you couldn’t go I wouldn’t go but the folks are expecting me at Hillsboro Fri. afternoon. I hope you can come to the formal and I won’t get another date till I know for certain that you can’t make it. It sure seems like we are having one hmmmmm of a time getting to see one another but I know how it is having all the tests come at once. I am going to have some studying to do while at home. I have a test in Psychology Mon.

When I cut classes it is usually because I don’t get up, not because of the weather. I slept through a Chem lecture Tues. morning.

I have a theme to finish for Mon. so had better close.

Honey you don’t know how much I want to see you and hold you but I guess all that will have to wait.

with all my love,

Tom
