I have been trying smoking my pipe all evening, I though that might be a good way to get rid of a sore throat. Its really been sore for the last few days, I am afraid to go to the infirmary because they put you in the hospital for little of nothing. The weather here has finally broke and it is getting a little warmer.<\/p>\n<p>I studied Fri. night and Sat. afternoon, then <a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/people\/steve-hempelman\/\">Steve<\/a> and I went down to Elaine&#8217;s and ate dinner. We stayed there all night and played bridge till 12:00 I am not very good at that game but learning slowly. We had an exchange dinner with one of the sororities tonight but I didn&#8217;t feel much like going so Steve and I ducked out and went to the show. I probably won&#8217;t be able to sit down after tomorrow night (swat night) because everyone was suppose to go.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2027\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/January-12-1942-Evanston-Illinois-Page-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2027\" src=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/January-12-1942-Evanston-Illinois-Page-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"January 12, 1942, Evanston, Illinois, Page 2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">January 12, 1942, Evanston, Illinois, Page 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Honey, I would like to come down very much Fri. the 6th I am pretty sure that I will register that morning and not Sat.
