Darlin'
    I'm sorry about that dumb letter yesterday, but I just wasn't in the mood -  Thanks loads for paying a
Ass'd for me - I have a penny, too -
    Maybe in a month we will have enough to buy some material to make you an apron to wear when you use the dish towels we just bought!!-
     I don't think I said two words at the office today - I hate it so - but then a lot of it is in my mind and I am going to get it right out -  I am not going to say one more thing about it - and if I do you just remind me that the subject is taboo -
    I am really going to start to make a rug so don't throw away any woolens -  Will start ripping tonight, I think - do you like this design - to have the outside solid brown with the inside variagated?  and brighter colors - What do you think?  I'm not too sure -
    I have decided to study again - That is to finish copying M.J.'s work -
    I'm so glad that tomorrow is Thursday then Friday, then you - Wish it were that way all the time till May - Then!!==
    Talk about cold weather - It's plenty cold here too - only I haven't money to get anti freeze - but my radiator leaks again anyway - so perhaps it won't freeze - maybe after pay day I'll have a couple of Sheckles -
    Will call Francis about the dance tomorrow - The tickets are out - and I hope they sell more than 50 - cause if we don't - we'll certainly owe a lot of money - Now there's some pretty good music on the radio - sounds like it might be Kay Kyser - (It was)
    You will have to tell me all about the operation - Hope it isn't too gruesome.  Maybe some day you'll want to be a doctor - Anyway it'll be interesting - Perhaps I might see one, too, some time?- maybe - I think it's going to work out O.K. for me to come to Portland the 30th - that is if we decided to have Thanksgiving the 21st. - We'll see - maybe I can find a ride up - I think it should be fun being there all day Sat. -
    Goodbye now sweet and remember I love you -
                           Lots of kisses, too -

Hello, my love -
    Don't know why, but I have been sleepy and lazy all day - maybe the weekend is beginning to catch up, or maybe I'm feeling like you do when I'm not around, or something -  Sometimes I wonder whether it's worth while waiting till next May - I am becoming more impatient all the time -
    Mr. Couch was down in Salem all day, which also might have been responsible for my not doing much -
    Tonite I am going ice-skating with Von and Glenn - hope I don't fall down too often as the ice is fairly hard - I should play basketball, but I'm going to kiss that off as being too strenuous -
    My damn car makes me mad - the clutch still grinds when the motor is cold and it sounds as though the whole transmission was falling out -
    This is going to be good fun coming down two weekends in a row - it's been quite a while since that happened, although I wish it could be all the time -
    Listen dear - do you still want the ball of yarn - if so, I'll bring it - if I can still find the wrapper - guess you will be needing the mittens if the weather down there is like it is here - it's practically freezing -
    Have the cute little snapshot of us right on my desk in front of me - thnk I'll frame it - you are very beautiful in it as I've told you before besides looking about 18 years old -  you don't mind my telling you these things again dear do you but I cannot tell a lie -
                                                                     Love and kisses -
                                                                                   Bill
