Dearest Darling,

   Don’t think I’m going to write you every day now, cause I am not.  I just finished washing my hair and I’m waiting for it to dry so I can roll it.  Did you get my letter I wrote last night?  I ought to get a letter from you at least tomorrow.     

I didn’t go to play practice tonight cause the leader won’t be there, and besides I’m going to bed early for once.  I suppose you and Arnold will just above be going to a show right now.  Its’ ten to eight.  I still have to work on my birthday, do my Spanish homework, roll my hair, and take my shower & polish my shoes.     

We got our reports cards today and I made A in Spanish, English, Glee Club, and American History.  I only made a B in gym.  Just think if I would have made and A in gym I would have made all A’s!     

Darling Sue got a letter addressed to Barbara in her letter this morning and it was from a boy at the University asking me to the Fall Frolic.  And to spend the whole week-end up there.  He even has me a hotel room, and we are to go to Daytona Beach Sat. after noon and to the big formal dance.  He said Jimmy told him about me.  Also to a football game and just everything!  Crazy thing – mean Jimmy.  I was just laughing and reading it to all the kids in Oklawaha as a big joke.  All of a sudden Sue starts yelling, ad she had just read her letter and Jimmy told here it was for Barbara Eaton!  Was I disappointed.  Here I thought I would get to go to the Fall Frolics, and he didn’t even mean me. (just joking) Even if he did mean me I wouldn’t go.     

Well darling I guess I’ll close for now as I have lots to do, and I’m sleepy.  Don’t run out every night with Arnold and then don’t feel like coming up Fri. night.  I expect to see you Friday night.  I really did miss you yesterday and today.  I’ll be glad when next Sept. come.  Won’t you? (if you will still have me.)  Darling, I still love you, so I’ll close.

Love you forever & forever,
Yours only, Barbara

P.S.
 I love you,
 I love you,
 I love you.
