Well my first exam is over. I was dead I was so tired this
morning. The exam this afternoon was miles long. I thought I would never get
thru. George came over this evening until eleven. Tired!
Love, Brother
Jane's Notes: I notice these references to swimming lessons. Perhaps, since Ann was such a great swimmer, he was trying get into her interest. As I remember he never was fond of swimming and when we would go camping or to some place to swim, he usually did not go in the water.
Dear Mother and Dad,
Thank you so much for my birthday present: there isn’t
anything that I have needed more than a watch. I’m certainly a fortunate person
in having you two for my parents. You were right about the strap, it doesn’t
fit. All the jewelry stores are having sales here, though, and I got a dollar
leather strap for fifty cents. I really think it looks nicer with a strap of
leather on it anyway. I spend all my time looking at it and wondering if it is
really mine.
I also received a little reminder from Aunt Lid this
morning. She enclosed a two cent stamp in it too. Pretty sly old girl, I would
say. I have acknowledged both Aunt Lid’s and the Grandfolk’s presents, so you
will not have to worry about that.
It may be possible for me to come home on the fourteenth;
but even if I do not, I think you should attend the picnic. You are secretary
of the organization, and as such should attend all its functions. However, you
do as you see fit.
I have sent my laundry out to be done this week, and I will
not send anymore home this term. All of a sudden I have more gold than I have
ever had in my life, and I don’t know just what to do with it. I will not spend
it, though; because I can save some of it for next fall.
Anny has something up her sleeve for Saturday; I don’t know
just what it is. She has been making daily trips to town and I am not allowed
to go with her. All she says is “I bet you wish you knew.” Just like dangling
meat in front of a starving Armenian. I think she is getting more fun out of my
curiosity than she has had for a long time.
Bob Norton went home today to play in an orchestra over the
weekend. He is returning as far as Roseburg Sunday, and I am driving his girl
down to meet him there. She has a little Ford coupe, and it is too far for her
to drive it all alone. I am glad of the opportunity, for I have never seen the
town.
MY WATCH SAYS THAT IT IS TIME TO GO SWIMMING, so I will
leave you again with a thousand thanks to my dear parents.
