Dear Dorothy:

I have very little personal correspondence, however I hope you note how prompt I handle this one.

For some reason which I don’t suppose would be hard to figure out, I have been a total loss to myself and business too, chin is’nt very high, hope you are’nt the same and hope I snap out of it.

I sure had a nice time with you at the silver slipper and our extensive window shopping was fun too, have you ever noticed how much more economical it is to shop when the stores are closed, if they would close pop corn stands a guy just would’nt have any fun.

It has been very warm here today, that and my sullen nature has made me about as popular as a crutch, I hope it cools off.

We are having a committee meeting tonight which will last a short time and from there I intend to go home and go to bed, friday I will see East High play for a change as West is away this week, this will be the first game this year I have attended without you, you never were to much of an enthusiast over these games, but very nice of you to go and I thought very nice to take. I will see this one alone.

I sure write a rotten letter don’t I? but I’ll bet I can improve some time.

Well Dorothy, I am getting to the bottom of the page again and you know what that means. By the way business was so good today I had to come back after dinner to write this as I want to be sure you get it friday.

I am expecting a letter from you, of course I could’nt expect one this week, could I,? but I want to hear early next week from you, i hope.

As ever

Dear Dorothy:

I received your letter today at noon, Armistice day, I hope in earnest, that you and you’r children did not forget to face east today,in remembrance of those who fell to make it possible for us to carry on.

I note you’r decision teacher, although it may not be the best, it made me very happy.

I can come after you, I’ll see you just a little past six friday night, as you know I have tickets for the game which I hope you will enjoy.
East and West as a rule play a very good game a lot of fight from start to finish, I have a $5.00 bet on the game I have it on west, Knox better come thru.

Did you enjoy Rubinoff, I fiddled away an evening by going to bed at 10.
Seeing as you are coming or I am coming after you friday, I will also devote this night as a night of rest in spite of it being armistice and some form of celebration would be inorder.

Well Dorothy, I will see you Friday night and remember I love you too.

As ever
