Hi -
     I forgive you for not writing cause I guess you didn't get my letter either and after that awful thing I tried to write down at the Del Ray - Helen & I stopped to have a coc but too many people came and went -
     Jimminy we worked till 7:30 again tonite - We really have been having fun - tho - writing all our letters and whatnot by ourselves - Guess I'll go into the lumber business myself - could probably do it O.K. if had the capital -
      Yes - oh I told you this, but Tuesday, after the coc, couldn't go to sleep till way, awful, late - Say - do you know what the theorum is about a right triangle - something like the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the sides - only that isn't right and I'm trying to find the correct statement - I can't remember it -
     Nothing happens - just work, work, - We did buy a box of apples - and I'm about to burst or to turn into an apple - and apples are fattening - Woe is I -
     Paul is here again and has his job back at Miller's - Hope he behaves himself -
     My mind's a blank, dear, and I'm sorry, but I hope you still love me -
                                                       Love & more love

Friday

Hello, sweet -
     This is really a sad day - it has been raining steadily ever since 4 o'clock yesterday and the outlook is rather dismal - I wish we had a few more months of summer - they are much better fun -
     Well, guess I will have to not see you this weekend - makes me very unhappy - however, I will be down next weekend if you come up the following Friday - by the way, I assume you don't have a ticket for the Oregon - Washington game, do you - also you wouldn't mind going general admission, would you, on account of I just can't afford to get two reserved seat tickets -
     It was very sweet of you to arrange it so I got two letters today - guess that makes you one up on me for the week - I hope you don't have to work late too many nites - I don't want you to be doing this working and studying too strenuously - or I'll start worrying - you are really an ambitious little girl, aren't you -
     Notice that snow is falling at Timberline - guess the skiing season will be starting up here in a month or so - guess winter is arriving -
     Was supposed to play some badminton tonite, but I don't feel like it, and besides I don't see any future in the game anyhow - best I stick to golf - which reminds me, I think maybe might play some with Mr. Couch tomorrow, providing the rain lets up a little while - at least, if I can't have you on a weekend, I can have a little golf, I hope-
     Von almost talked me into getting a date last nite, but I didn't weaken - aren't you proud?  - Anyway, he got a date with Betty (the nurse) and the three of us went over to the Fishbowl in Vancouver and drank a couple of bowls of beer - good clean fun - and 2 of those beauties really are my limit - wow - wish you had been there to tell me when to stop -
     Tonite am going to listen to the football game between Oregon and the Marines from the mud-flats at Hayward Field - there is a possibility that I might see the Portland - Willamette game at the Stadium tomorrow if the golf doesn't pan out -
     I just hope you miss me as much this weekend as I miss you - and please don't study too hard -
                                                         Lots of love and kisses, 
                                                                    Bill

P.S. tell Paul hello -
