Dot’s had such a busy weekend that her letter sounds breathless!

She was thrilled to have a 16 minute phone call with Dart’s mother today. It’s nice for her to have someone nearby she can call when she’s feeling lonely. From the sounds of it, Dot thinks that Mrs. Peterson has no idea that her son may have to leave the country again. Dot urges him to be in touch with her before he gets shipped out – if, indeed, that happens.

She spent the day darning, ironing and mending her wardrobe. Try as she might, she’s discovered that a young lady cannot both attend college and “keep the Sabbath holy.”

Because she spent some time listening to Bonnie’s plans to be married in three to four months, she had no time to finish the letter last night. She dashed off the rest of today’s pages in the morning of the 22nd before leaving for class. She still hasn’t decided what she’ll say when she’s called on in English class to deliver three “well-rounded, well-developed, interesting sentences.”

However, she dreamed she went to Shaw High School to visit Dart’s favorite English teacher, Miss Palmer. When she got there, Miss Palmer asked her to address the class with three well-rounded, well-developed, interesting sentences about why she loves Dart. She has no memory of what she said, but she reminds Dart it shouldn’t matter what she said in a dream, as long as she loves him in real life.
