Dear Heart:

I'm wondering where my boy is tonight, what sort of lodgings he is in and all. How I wish you were here!

The sun has glowed to a finish behind the white apple orchards, and even the orioles are silenced. I have just returned from the library, and from a brief call on your mother, who was just thru her supper. She is expecting a letter tomorrow from you, has set her heart upon having one.

June and I went to the Copley theatre yesterday afternoon, and saw a one act little thing "The Monkey's Paw" and also Sheridan's "Critic".

Your mother and I are looking for a letter from you tomorrow, and shall be disappointed if we don't get it. I'm afraid between us we'll eat you up when you do get back. Doris.
