"Little Sweetheart:
This letter won't be a good test of our mail service as I am writing it at the office- a much to be discouraged practice- but I just don't feel equal to climbing hill more than once.
I've had no time to be sleepy today. The chief operator is away visiting a tributary office and I've had everything to do. We have two classes starting today- one local and one toll. And we had to let a supervisor go out to assist a private branch exchange operator get started- and the auditors took one of our operators to assist in checking the records. Then a bunch of reports came back from Des M. to be done over- Des M's fault- not ours- and I had to help get the clerks straightened out on them. And then a case of trouble developed on the monitoring board- oh, it's been a busy day.
Tonight I'm going to sleep- oh how hard. I didn't much more than close on eye all night.
Really, dear, I had a wonderful time at your formal- but for the fear that you were not enjoying it. I truly hope you did.
Did you go to bed? Really, Jean, you must get to feeling better soon!!! It was a lovely visit, dear- made life worthwhile once more.
I must to work again.
Your lover,
Bob"
