Dearest Darling

I’m so hot and bored!  I’m up a daddy’s place and I haven’t had a customer yet.  Daddy, Sue & Dick are in the back – all of them painting and the smell is sickening.  Why I’m up here is I came up with Dick to get my drivers license and daddy won’t bring me home.  And darling I got them.  It wasn’t so hard.  I missed one question and he tome me one.  The police man was real nice.  I had to drive around 2 blocks.  And I didn’t give him any rabbit jumps (pure luck)!  Last night Dick took us to the beach, Mon. night to the show.  I’ll tell you about it tonight.  This dern pencil won’t hardly write.  This place is so hot, I’m nearly cooked.  I washed my hair & rolled it last night at 10:30.  I’ll close & see you tonight. !!! is pencil!

Love you darling
Barbara

P.S.

Honestly, I still love you.
