[[year??]] [[??]].

This summer is quite vague still. Jack [[??]] just been told he [[strike-through]] should [[strikethrough]] take his [[??]] in August (end of), since [[??]] is going to Europe for a year often that and would be a [[most?]] valuable member of the testing committee. This is an oral exam (3 hours) testing the candidate's knowledge of all the [[??]] he's taken [[??]] the qualifying exam, a is the last major hurdle before the [[??]]. 

[[??]] be [[??]] do this, the only time we can come to D.C. would be early in the summer- in June, perhaps. Jack has a 12-month appointment [[??]] must [[??]] in Champaign; he sets a 2-week vacation at the end, but this must be spent studying for prelims. I am not sure what work I'll have, it may be just translating, [[??]] I may get a job regularly. 

We do hope you get to [[??]] the [[??]] [[??]]. You haven't been out of the [[??]], for awhile now, have you? 

[[?]] the time for new tires has arrived (almost) for our car : I am reminded of Dad's brakes. We'll wait until the present [[strikethrough]] [[??]] [[strikethrough]] have seen 50,000 miles, sometime this summer. 

Love, 
Dorris 

P.S. another handkerchief from the [[??]]
