Dear Folks,<\/p>\n

About all I ever get a chance to do is start a letter but they are easier to finish after starting them than it is to sit down and write the whole thing out in 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

We are suppose to have three one hour study periods during the day but they are really about 15 min. in length. Bu the time we march back from the class it is usually 15 min. past the hour and then there have to be announcements made then by the time we fall out early the time in between isn’t much.<\/p>\n

I wrote you a card last night thanking you for the candy and cookies but thanks again.<\/p>\n

This typewritter belongs to my roommate Sam Ashcroft<\/a> who is at math class now. He told me not to seal this letter till he gets back because he wants to add something. He was going to N.U. [1]<\/sup><\/a>Northwestern University<\/span><\/span>
