Tom invites Zoe to visit him the weekend of the Indiana football game against Northwestern. He maps out plans for where she will stay, and he will pick her up at the train station.

Dearest,

I don’t have time for any more than a line or two, but I wanted to know if you could come up the 8th of Nov. That is the day of the Indiana game. If you could leave Champaign the 7th sometime in the afternoon, I could meet you at the train station, that night when ever your train came in. Elaine says that weekend will be fine with her and she is looking forward to having you come. (So am I.) If you can do this write me and let me know when your train gets in to Chicago. I hope you can come. Write me and let me know about this, because Elaine wants to write you.

I really do hope you will come.

What do you think of this Sigma Nu stationary? You are the first I’ve used it on.

Let me know about coming and please don’t disappoint me.

With love,

Tom.
