Dearest Dorothy:

With too much assurance there is no mistake in this heading.

At the approximate hour of 3 I am leaving for the farm via Cedar Falls, Don and I are going ridding, at the exact hour of seven I hope to listen to Charley in Grundy and at 9 or shortly after I will be in bed, brief, compact but my activities for today.

You have not answered my letter yet so there is not a great deal I can say in this, if when you get this you have not penned me a missive you had better get busy.

I was very ill all day saturday I thot for a while I would be unable to go to the dance but I felt better after dinner, I had a bad cold and felt as tho I might be getting the flue, I feel much better today.

This is to denote lapse of time.

It is now 9:20 I have been to the farm and just stopped at the store to finish this letter.
Correction – Don did not go with me, he called and wanted me to go another place after a little verbal conflict I went my way and he went his.
I heard Charley in Grunday at Pat’s Grille, I was home alone exept for Ralph, no date and now going home to bed. don’t you think I’m a pretty good guy today.

Well Dottie, it is late and you owe me a letter so will cut, I should get a letter from you Mon.?

With Love.
