Sunday Afternoon

Dearest Ken,

Have spent most of today messing around when I should be studying for my report tomorrow and the first final in 134 next Wednesday. I shall soon get on the ball, though. At the moment I’m hungry and will have to eat.

Yesterday I sent you via airmail the photographs I’ve been collecting. Amelia took the ones in Modesto and Leons snapped the photos in the Legion of Honor Palace grounds. If you will decide the one or ones you like the best, and tell me I shall have enlargements made. When Mother and Dad come out they will no doubt be taking pictures too and I shall send you some of them. Oh did I tell you that even the nurses get to wear a cap and gown for graduation and that I shall have a portrait made just for you. You’ve been wanting one for ages now. Can hardly wait until time for graduation and plus! You know, I’m really too lucky for my own good; I am not going to be too sure of myself until I actually have the sheepskin in hand and can sit and look at it and make sure that it doesn’t belong to someone else! It doesn’t seem possible that I can be doing what I’ve been doing what I’ve always wanted to do.

Excuse the typing, will you,

Bernie Lou
