Dear Jack,

The other letter I am sending is a little old but I’m broke and have been for around two weeks.

I’ve been paying a doctor bill and it takes practically all my pay, plus bus far, etc. I also lost one letter I wrote and can’t find it anyplace!! I’ll explain what I meant about not writing before the 19. I was mad Jack! You wrote differently to other people than you do me. You tell them what a grand time you have running around with the White Russian gals and drinking. I read some of them, seeing is believing. I just can’t believe it Jack!! You can go out but you don’t have to keep it a secret from me. Oh well maybe it’s best, I don’t know. And drinking Jack?? You must know how strongly I’m against it!! Don’t let it get the best of you Jack please, for me.

I heard Konie is out of service! He was up to the fountain about a week ago, I was talking to him. I heard he is going with Blanche Glan now. Know her? I do.

Oh yes I also heard your sister Gwenie went out with Ricky Lowe!! She’s swell Jack and he seems like a nice guy. I was supposed to go on a hay-ride with Dot, Gwen, Dolly Costello and that gang but I changed my mind. I know what happens on hay-rides. Remember the one we went on?? The minister sat next to us all the way out and you were the one who was gonna keep me warm. Oh I Jack I miss you so much!

No doubt you’ve heard I have been over to Dot’s house a couple of times. Once, about two weeks ago I went to the Sawkill Dance with her. I came home (to her house) with Jimmy Gilpatrick. He’s O.K. but I know a certain Marine who could pass him with flying colors.

School’s coming along fine and so is work. I don’t wolf honey so don’t worry.

Guess I better close, I’m getting sleepy, forgive me for not writing Jack. It won’t happen again.

I love you,

Sincerely,

“Jackie”
