Dearest,<\/p>\n

I have been meaning to write you for the last week or has it been longer than that? I hope there are some other schools not as tough as Northwestern because this one is plenty hard and I want an easier one for next year.<\/p>\n

Its just about dinner time but I wanted to mail this tonight.<\/p>\n

Last weeks game didn’t go so good for Northwestern but we can at least say we don’t pick on little teams to win from. (such as Drake) It was really a swell game and we should have won.<\/p>\n

I am certainly glad that last week is past, because between homecoming and Dad coming up I didn’t get much work completed. My subjects aren’t so hard except German and its really a nightmare. I have an eight thirty every morning but I’ll know better next time not to get any of them. It seems like I just go to bed and have to get up. For the amount of sleep I get I might just as well not go to bed because it takes up more energy than I can spare crawling up into the top bunk.<\/p>\n

I guess you Bob B<\/a>. was up two weeks ago we really saw the town I think he was quite impressed.<\/p>\n

I had better close this letter because tonight is swat night and I can’t risk being late to dinner. Wish me luck that I don’t get over one swat. I know I have that coming.<\/p>\n

Tell Ruth<\/a> hello.<\/p>\n

Do you think you could come to Chicago any week-end? Elaine said she would like for you to stay with her. Think this over and let me know where to meet you. (I hope I am not taking to much for granite)<\/p>\n

With love,<\/p>\n

Tom.<\/p>\n
