Dear Dorothy:
I am indebted to you for one letter which right now we will take off the books.
First I thought the party was fun, did you? however there are a few things that I am indeed sorry for and sincerely hope that it will be possible for you to overlook.
Perhaps we imbibed just a little too freely, I did and never am myself when I do,so from here on in I will take it very easy.
I am enclosing a snap shot taken during a very strenous match which of course I won and brought the olimpic cup back to U.S.
I mustered up a lot of ambition today and cleaned my desk, that accounts for the other two, one of which I portray Tarzan the other Hugh Herbert. If you do not have a basket handy throw them out the window, or if you have mice,I am sure they will frighten.
I am not under my own power today, very tired and listless can hardly wait until bed time which I intend to take advantage of very early and not only tonight but it i going to be a habit.
If ever I do come to Jesup, again after Friday night, which of course I hope I do, 12 o’clock will be absolutely the latest for my arrival home.
Mrs. Fox will think that we are night owls, but we really arent and can prove it,we just misunderstood time and reason, I understand today more than I ever had.
I will tell you the big reason for for my being so unreasonabe, I just have expected too much, we used to date a lot on week ends which I did enjoy so much and which I no longer can do as some one else is doing it for me, it really bothered me.
Now tho I realize what it is all about and promise that I will not get so envious again.
I wouldn’t tell you for the world but I wish he was not coming to Jesup, to spend a week end.
The printers called me today to have my picture taken modeling an ice cream cone outfit I guess it was a white over sea’s hat with a white and blue jacket, I tried hard to keep my eyes open but something tells me they will want their money back when they see the picture, what a day to call me for a thing like that, but I thought of you and am sure I will have a slight trace of a very contented smile.
I hope you are not tiredtoday and hope you did not have school so you could rest, you would certainly need it if you feel like I do.
Boy, this is sure some long letter, this,in the event you have not noticed is page 2 and I don’t mind saying I am pretty well down the page.
I am expecting a letter from you real soon and hope you can get a ride over Friday.
As ever
“Ding”
By the way there is one thing more, your picture that I returned last night kindly send it to me in your letter without fail.
