Reception last week & I went. It was really lovely. I had a marvelous time. I went with a boy from Farragut Academy in Florida, have you heard of it? He's a swell kid, but nothing can cope with my Jack. And I say "my" proudly because we are going steady. But don't tell mom because she thinks I'm too young to go steady. But I'm not. He's coming home in August - God willing because he is on the Shangri-La & is going to help test the Atomic Bomb. And I'm worried!

He's like no one else on earth & we get along beautifully. You'll see perhaps. Nothing mushy about him,

but he is polite, respectful & courteous, & that's what counts. Mom doesn't want me swimming in salt water so I'll be getting my tan in the back yard.

You're going to stay up here aren't you? I mean you're not going to go home & back again before you start Radcliffe are you?

I'll show you Jack's picture when you come up.

By the way, I'm 5'7" did you know? I always thought I was 5'8" maybe I've been shrinking !!

I must go now & hit the sack —
Love
Mabel
