Darling,

Who would ever have tho’t when we started that penny bank a year ago last spring that we would have five dollars in a savings account just from pennies? Thank you dear, for writing Tom Moran such a long line about June. I know if he ever should ask her out she would be so thrilled she wouldn’t be able to talk of anything else for weeks. I’ll bet we did miss a good game Saturday! The papers down here are so dumb al they say is that Oregon won and by how much but they never tell anything about the game. The sports writer is terribly dumb anyway because both when we played Gonzaga and Washington he predicted before the game that we would loose. Saturday afternoon before supper we were listening to the radio and they gave some football scores and they said Oregon had won by six points. Later in the evening we were listening to the “Saturday Night Dancing Party” (very good by the way – Sat. 7 to 8 – NBC) and they announced that Washington had won by six points so we were up in the air until your letter and the paper came this morning.  Pop and I were so excited when we heard the first announcement over the radio and were so crest fallen at the second. One reason why we like to listen to the “Sat. Nite Dancing Party” is because besides giving the scores they play the song of the school that won. That’s another reason why I was so crest fallen because I was looking forward to hearing that dear old “Oregon, our Alma Mater.” But I did hear a swell song over the radio tonight that almost made me cry! It was the lullaby that the Alpha Phi sweetheart song is written to. It made me so home sick for you, dear.

I am glad that your father has found something to do but I wish it didn’t have to be in Seattle. If they go up before Christmas how can I come up and see you?

You didn’t know what a wonderful country I am living in did you? Well, I am enclosing a folder just to show you. There’s nothing like it!

This has been a very dull day except for your two very welcome letters. I can’t read them often enough and it thrills me every time I read them. I got up and got breakfast. After breakfast I changed all the beds because being Monday the laundry man came. It seemed almost like old times making beds and I am a whizz at it. Then I went into town and did the marketing. By that time it was almost time to get lunch. After lunch I read some and made a desert for tonight. After I washed a big bunch of stockings and bathed I got supper and then after supper I played Russian Bank with Grover and now here I am.

I’m sorry, dear, that you had to miss the game but now you are all caught up, aren’t you? You still have to work hard but at lest you aren’t behind the others anymore, are you? Sweetheart, I love you and I want you to accomplish your aim!

Good night, lover

Ann
