Write me a long letter even if you don’t know what their plans are for you. Don’t you think we ought to get married anyway no matter how it all turns out; don’t you think we’d be happier, more secure, contented? This evening Clark & Johnny came by and took us all for a ride. I’m proud of you & you of me.

So glad you called tonight. Let me know as soon as you find out anything so I can leave here Fri night & get there Sat morning. Sure hope you get out of the hosp so I can come up & see you, for I know you’re blue & so am I. Called your mother & told her you said you’d be out in 2 days.
