Dear Dorothy:

Well here I am again and under my own power, not feeling so hot but am here.
I came to work yesterday at noon went to lunch and then went home at 3 p.m.
I arrived at work early today 11 a.m. and I plan to go home about three.

I know a lot of words but I don’t think the ones that I know or any one else, could come even close to tell you how happy I was to receive your letter and picture.
I have a lot to tell you about the picture some time, they both sure afforded me a lot of comfort and want to thank you a lot for both.

I am in a great deal of mental and physical dis comfort this week,however I hope my trip up their next week will end some of it.
Clyde is going to ride up with me perhaps monday they will remove the bandage at that time, which is very painful and then I will know whats what.

I have a lot to write you and just do not have the pep to do it.
They wanted me to stay their until next monday but that was out of the question as the few days I was in there almost got to me.

I would like to hear from you if yu find time shoot me a letter.
I mained you a post card yesterday and for got to put your address on it so you wont get it.
A screw’y letter isnt it? write me one anyway and when I feel better I will make up for lost time like nobody’s business.

With Love.

Dear Dorothy:

I received the letter you wrote to me monday today, or course too late for me to come or to advise you that I could’nt come.
Therefore if you in the meantime have had no one change your plans, I will present myself at the Fox, residence at the approximate hour of 7:30. Thursday evening attired strictly informal.

Yes Clyde and I went to Rochester Monday morning and was back in Waterloo that evening in time for the Phi Sig rabbit dinner which consisted of pork roll.
I was presented a very fine bill fold at the dinner for being a good president, I sure appreciated it, it was certainly flattering to one as modest as myself.

You inquire as to my predicament, they are very much affrayed that I am going to pull thru.

You certainly have a lot of seat work see that you confine it to the school and second grade.

Yes it would have been very nice could I have taken you to the formal, I am sure we would have a grand time and I don’t know of any one I would rather take.
But as you say it is apparently out of the question.

You may be hungry, but if you are cold I would sure like to be their to do something about your temperature.

Well Dorothy, I am nearing the bottom of the page again, hope to see you Thursday.

In that event I wish I were in your second grade.

As ever
