Dart has been unable to find the English department open whenever he’s stopped by, so he’s made no progress toward settling his fall schedule. While in psychology class today, he asked Nancy Sutter if she had sung in the Andrews glee club, and she confirmed that she had. “In the course of this class on the psychology of personality, the topic of sex comes up quite frequently. I noticed today that she was embarrassed very much. Almost, in fact, as much as I was.”

He writes that the class this term is far smaller than the one last term. Consequently, it is far less formal and tends more toward lively and open discussions than to lectures. For the most part, he seems to enjoy that.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses are convening in Cleveland this week and have nearly taken over all public space. Pairs of them are also placed every 35 feet downtown, trying to widely distribute copies of their publication “The Watchtower” to passers-by. Dart was “accosted” by a pair today, saying “Read the Truth and be Happy.” Dart replied that he was very happy and that he’d never found the truth, to which one of the JW replied, “You can’t be happy until you read the truth!” His psychology class has been discussing a common statement to be used on these folks, but have been unable to find a solution.

Just think! in about 31 days, he’ll be with her and on their way to Sunapee. He must get a letter off to Hal Martin to see if he’ll be able to stop by the Chamberlain camp while he and Dot are there. Speaking of the trip, Dart has been thinking of taking the bus instead of the train to Greenwich. It would cost time, but save money.

How he hopes  he can learn to be the kind of father Mr. Pecsok is. Dart fears that Dot is partly responsible for spoiling the Miller children.

Yes, it is strange about Fred. Dart doubts the marriage will last, but Fred is a determined cuss, and Bettie has put up with him this long, so maybe it’ll all work out.

Foremost on Dart’s mind tonight – other than how much he misses Dottie, is who will do the cooking at Sunapee. I notice he didn’t volunteer!

Listening to David Rose on the radio playing “If I Loved You” has put Dot into a romantic mood. She can think of nothing to write about except how lonely she is for Dart – even to the point of being jealous of every affectionate gesture she witnesses between Gordon and Betty or her parents. She can’t believe it hasn’t even been two months since she waved good-bye to him of the train platform, but  it seems like an eternity. How will she stand the 8 or 9 months that she’ll go without seeing him after their Sunapee vacation?

“Ever since I met you and fell in love with you, I’ve been waiting for the future, our future together, that is taking so long to get here. Why do I love you so much? No matter why I do, I wouldn’t have it any other way, Dearest, but sometimes it hurts an awful lot. I never dreamed love could be such a combination of joy and heartache.”

“Tomorrow’s another day and I must rise early and go to work at the Miller’s. I’m glad my time is so filled, but I am living and working for the day when it will be filled with nothing but making a home for you.”

She’s sure there’s more news to write, but all she wants to do is think about him. With that, she fears she’ll burst into tears if she doesn’t stop thinking about him. Before she gets the paper soggy, she begs him to let his parents know that she’ll get on the ball in the next day or two and write them a nice letter.
