Thursday 


Dearest – 

Am working tonite so this will be in the nature of a recess. I have given up the ghost of trying to finish up during the day so from now on until the head of the application department returns I shall spend part of each evening at the office. The only drawback, sweet is that I shall have to wait for your letter that I know must be at the house. I didn’t hear from you yesterday, and I know there must be a letter tonite. No matter how rushed you are you wouldn’t go two days without at least dropping a note. 


Have been leading a very uneventful life, dear so this paragraph will suffice for my activities. No, I will answer your unasked questions, – I am not running around at all. When you are away I do not rush or care to rush others. Take that!


Have seen no one that we know. It seems that everyone has hibernated already. Of course I haven’t been anywhere, but still it seems as though I might at least bump into someone on the streets. I didn’t even see a familiar face the nite that I was at the Ohio. 


Has Charley called? I gave him your address but forgot whether I told him under whose name he could find your telephone. If you see him tell him that if he returns all will be forgiven! 


Am thinking of enrolling in another nite course this winter. What do you think of the idea? Of course I won’t devote as much time to it as I did last year, but I feel that I want to keep in touch somehow if only one evening a week. I am not going to take anything complicated. If I can find something interesting at Western Reserve in Psychology, History of Literature I believe I will enroll. I think it would be great if we could study together, honey. We could go to class together and have heaps of interesting evenings reading up on our course. Of course we could have to select an inexpensive course! What say, dear? 


Am also thinking of re entering a  gym class at the “Y”. I am getting terribly out of condition and I dread a corpulent pouch as much as you would hate me to have one. With basketball and swimming one nite a week I will or should be able to keep my girlish figure. 


Time Out 


Just finished getting bawled out for something I did wrong last February. It is bad enough to be blamed and cussed for what you do day by day – without having them rake up skeletons from the past. That was a particularly hectic period of my career and I am all excited every time anyone mentions that month. It seems that everything I did then was wrong, and that I will never be able to live down my past. 


I felt lost without your letter to anchor with. It seems that I just wander on and cannot link up my thoughts to the points I wish to express. My letters must be a terrible bore. It seems as though watch day is the same as the preceding day and there is nothing new to write. Your dear letters are so full of life and so interesting that I feel ashamed of my feeble attempts to equal them. But, dear, you know that I love and think of you – and only wish that I could tell you it all – 


Can hardly wait to see your letter and feel you with me


Love 

Leon
