Dear Dorothy:

I regret very much that I did not see more of you Saturday night and want to apologize for making such a hasty departure after meeting Mr. Moore. I however had had 4 beers which is more than I can take and depend on my rationality, I wanted to be sure no one spoke out of turn.

Did you enjoy the band? for some reason or other I thought they [were] terrible, it could have been me but I still won’t like them.

Now, how would you like to come to Waterloo and go to a dance this Friday night Aug. 27th at the country club.
All you have to do Dorothy is get here, it would be nice of course to get here Friday some time before the dance starts.
I would be more than happy to take you to Eldora Saturday any time after 6P.M. if you see fit to accept this invitation, which I hope you do.

Now Dorothy you get busy and let me know right away what you intend to do about this as Friday is not so far off, my good shirt is dirty, if you accept I will get it washed and ironed get my car cleaned and pressed and just generally fixed up.

If the mail carrier does not hand me a letter Wed. from you he might as well look for a new job.

Best wishes.
Ding

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
“Ding”
