\r\n Tom and his friend, Steve, spend time each evening after dinner, walking along Lake Michigan, discussing their girlfriends. His fraternity has a dinner with the Pi Phi women’s sorority, and a dozen of his fraternity brothers come down with some form of food poisoning.\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

Wed. noon.<\/p>\n

Dearest,<\/p>\n

I haven’t very much time but I recieved your letter yesterday and tried to find time to write you last night. I have swimming next period and then I am through for the rest of the day out side of writing a theme and doing some math problems and some Chemistry problems so I will have time for alittle rest, like heQQQQQ. I will finish this after swimming so don’t go away.<\/p>\n

6:30—<\/p>\n

Sorry, but just got back to my room. I was planning on finishing this at two-thirty, but I had to go down to Chicago for one of the fellows in the house. Darling, I do’t know how you felt after the Alumni Dance last spring, but I know I felt awful funny; so, therefore I have experienced the same sensation. I really wanted to come back last summer, but thought it was useless to try. Ususually after dinner every evening Steve<\/a> and I take a walk along the lake; he is quite interested in a girl up north, and you and she are the main topics of discussion.<\/p>\n

Only sixteen more days, and while we’re on the subject, I might as well ask you for a date now. How about Saturday night, the twentieth?<\/p>\n

Sunday night we had an exchange dinner with the Pi Phi’s, and there was something in the meal that made everybody sick. As it happened, Steve<\/a> and I had ducked out and eaten up town, and anyway there were about a dozen kids in the house that got sick, including my two room-mates. They couldn’t even go to school Tuesday. If they’d eaten much more they wouldn’t have needed a doctor; a couple of the boys are still in the hospital. Hand and Bud got sick Monday night and carried on quite a fuss, but do to excellent nursing on my part, they’re as fit as a fiddle today. Ole Doc Cartmell knows his stuff, but for a while I thought it would be a case for the morgue. (I better quite slinging this bull—)<\/p>\n

I’d better close this before the mailman gets tired of waiting, and besides I’m afraid you’d pass out if you got a two-page letter. See you in sixteen days.<\/p>\n

With love,<\/p>\n

Tom<\/p>\n
