Dart has time tonight for only a “wee note” because he was caught up in an old fashioned Navy-style bull session. A bunch of guys sat around telling each other sea stories. When the topic turned to burlesque experiences, he and Hal bowed out and went to see a pirate movie in Techicolor.

Hal wanted to add his 2 cents to Dart’s letter to Dart, but had to get some sleep before Dart finished.

He tells his beloved fiance that he wishes he could write every night like he he wrote on the last page of his letter on the 27th because he feels that way so often.

Dot writes two very short letters today – one in the morning before her science class and one later in the evening.

Cynthia, her dear friend from Greenwich who goes to Oberlin College stopped by yesterday with her parents to see Dot. What a great surprise! They were just bringing Cynthia back to school and decided to hang out with Dot for a while. It must have been wonderful for Dot to see some friendly faces from home.

Last night was a Halloween party which Dot will write more about tonight. She’s amazed that it’s been two years since she and Dart went to see “The Phantom of the Opera” and she wonders if Dart remembered that. (Of course!)

Later that day, she reminds him that they both knew the time would come when her letters would be fewer and shorter. That time is now. She has five tests this week and much to do before going to his parents’ home in Cleveland on Friday. Her eyes are bleary from studying so much, but there’s no end in sight if she wants to get good enough grades to be able to face him the next time they’re together. She’s so thankful she has him to think about while she studies.
