Saturday Night

My Dearest Ken,

It’s so beautiful outside and I’ve had to do a lot of studying—had to figure out those vital statistics rates for 419 and then make a bibliography for a term paper if Psychiatry. I still don’t know what I’m supposed to write a term paper about. Everyone seems to be in the dark about the issue—we are supposed to write a theme on “Anxiety”. Can you figure it out? So help me God, it’s my last theme so I shall produce something tonight! If only I know where to draw the line for the paper, half of my trouble would be over.

The news now is that the Allies will not bomb Rome if the Germans will withdraw. According to the radio reports, the Germans are considering withdrawing their troops, however, I’m afraid the bargain won’t be accepted by Germany.

Are you happier now that you are settled back in our old job and among your old friends, I hope? Do you see Wickes and his wife very often? Aren’t you near this club where you used to play snooker?? By the way, there are lots of places to play snooker right here in Oakland, and I had never noticed them until you mentioned the subject. Isn’t the game similar to billiards?

Write to me real soon; haven’t had a letter for over a week and I miss them so and I also miss you too, Darling,

As ever,

Berna Lou
