Dot Darling, After not writing to you for so long, it’s really hard to get started again. It’s too late to write much as I have to get up early tomorrow. I have a date with Earle Ramsdell to go to the City Club for one of their regular Saturday luncheons. I haven’t joined, so I’m going as a guest.

I received a 6-pager from you this week, but can’t answer it tonight. The tests didn’t go too well, but I don’t think I flunked any of them. I know I won’t get 100 in Spanish, and I’ll get less than 90 in English, and a grade considerably less than B in industry.

I have a list of things to tell you, but I’ll wait with them. My PD check this week was $17.22. We got a retroactive raise.

Good night, Darling, and Merry Christmas. I love you very much.
