Dear Zoe,

Again I type you a letter so you will be sure and be able to read it. I wrote you one letter and mailed it to Sorento, but as yet have not had any return. I guess you had already left for school, but anyway I do expect one after this, and soon.

I saw my advisor yesterday and we made out my schedule: five hours German, four hours English, four hours Chemistry, three hours College algerbra. Do you think that should keep me busy.

Tomorrow night is the freshmen dance, and then Fri. night is the Fraternity dance and if you don’t get a date for them they will get you one. I really like it here in the house, they haven’t as yet started any funny stuff, but we have to have twenty barrel staves by the end of this week and you can use your imagination if you want to know why they want those. The pledge pins or just like the others only it is just the center out of them. They have appointed the guy to give the swats and he sure isn’t any shorty.

My room-mate is Tuffy Chambers he’s the captain of the football team this year so you can see that I’m going to have to be good. If you can’t see that you would if you saw Tuffy. I don’t know how long he is going to be here, The Orington Hotel has offered him a job that if he sweeps the snow off the walk every morning that it snows that he can stay in one of the guest rooms.

Have to close now.

Write soon.

with love,

Tom.
