My Darling,

I can’t let the month end without telling you how much I love you. Your swell twelve-page letter came today. I’ll answer it more fully at some later time, or at least I’ll try. See – if I’d opened my mouth the first time I’d thought about some of those things, I’d not have had a thing to worry or wonder about.

Mom says that Pop will refuse to wear tails. I wonder.

How, Darling, knowing my situation as to knowledge of marital relations, do you think I get my knowledge? Reading is the only way. I’m always willing to try to learn something more about making our married life more satisfying to both of us, so if you find another copy of that magazine, clip the article and send it to me. I’d appreciate it very much.

I have a great deal of banking to do tomorrow as my check came in and various bills are due. It’s late because we took a long time getting home from the Skyline meeting.  So if you don’t mind, I’ll drop off to sleep deliberately before I do it accidentally. Good night, Dot. May I rub your back?

No letters until February 3. See you then!
