Dearest -
   I know that tomorrow (Saturday) you will be wondering all the time if I have written cause you probably won't get this, but I did - Also I want to apologize for my hasty note last night - I and Helengray were having a "coc" and talking miles an hour.
   The fellow that fixed my car was awful nice and he only charged me for the towing.  He also said if I brought it down some night he would work on it and fix up little things just so he could stay awake all night.
   Morrissette finally came across with an "A" - I got them back today - and am now getting ready to start on lesson 5 -
   Do you know what - I was actually shocked last night at the high school kids in this time town.  Last night especially, because of the circus I guess - but Helen & I walked to town when my car wouldn't run, and we got kind of mad once or twice.  Course they took us for high schoolers and several wanted to go out and pitch woo - fine thing!!
   Wow, am I ever beautiful - some woman was just here to give me a facial - to advertise her products - but I feel like a greased pig -
   Celorie is in Portland now and I bet is having a grand old time - I just about died laughing at him Thursday - He came bursting into the office with "Whew what a narrow escape - my wife wanted to go to Portland with me and I sure had a hard time talking her out of it"  and then he would laugh & laugh - You know how he is -
   Do you miss me dear - like I miss you?  I hope - Helen and I had more fun and have more fun talking over our future plans.  She is the only one I have mentioned anything to - Everyone else keeps wondering.  Happy fun games -  Tomorrow is Sat. and then one more week till I see you I hope -
   My Associated credit card came today - but I do hope I don't have to use it - And I have one whole nickel (5¢) till pay day -
   Saw Carl at Burn's for a minute last night - guess he had just finished working or somepin.
   Well, sweet, lesson 5 is staring me in the face -
                                              Lots of love & kisses
