Dart has a little fun on the first page of this brief letter; he writes in kind of broken English, written phonetically in an Eastern European accent. He chatters on about the wasted full moon; better they should stop them from coming around for the next six months so that he and Dot can enjoy a week of full moons on their honeymoon. Then he says he must stop this nonsense, answer her letter, and get back to work.

He was glad to read about the swell time Dougie had at his birthday party. He likes her new stationery. Did she get a new pen, too, or just a new point for the old one?

How he wishes they could be together for Christmas, and from then on, for that matter!

He’d like to write another long, intimate letter, but if he doesn’t get his Spanish and journalism work done by sun-up, she won’t love him anymore.

“I miss you always.”
