\r\n Tom is on his spring vacation and staying at home in Greenville. He and his friends visited with Zoe’s parents. He saw the eye doctor and was told that he still had 20\/20 vision but reading glasses were recommended. He and his parents went out to dinner at Diamond Mineral Springs (an old spa) in Grant Fork, Illinois (population 103).\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

Sun. night.<\/p>\n

Dearest,<\/p>\n

As yet I don’t know if we will get to stop by on the way back so wanted to get this letter off now. I am in bed now and Steve is playing cards.<\/p>\n

This afternoon Steve<\/a>, Bill<\/a>, and Bob<\/a> and I went up to see your folks we had quite a visit.<\/p>\n

Say honey I saw Mary once and that was to get my ring back. I hope that is as good a news to you as hearing that you weren’t going with Jim was to me.<\/p>\n

I went down to the eye doctors Fri. and I am going to have to wear glasses for reading. My eyes are still 20\/20 through thank goodness for that.<\/p>\n

We went to Highland with the folks tonight and ate dinner in Grant Fork<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you have been a good girl this week-end because I really have been. (a good boy) If you don’t believe me ask Steve.<\/p>\n

Sorry I didn’t get to talk to you Wed. From there on we really had one hmmmmm of all trip we got in Greenville the next morning at 8:30.<\/p>\n

Write soon and think ahead to some week-end that we could both be home.<\/p>\n

Pardon the writing but Steve is playing card on the bed and jumping around.<\/p>\n

With all my love,<\/p>\n

Tom<\/p>\n

Steve says hello.<\/p>\n
