"Jean Child:
Your letter was a beautiful climax to a wonderful week end. I enjoyed it so much- for your happiness made the trip a success for me.
I wish I were able to come this week but that is impossible. You will have a good time at our dance- won't you think of me a little while you're there?
Dear, I am already looking forward to my next weekend with you. It looks as if there is no possibility of my coming before the 11th of December and I have wonderful hopes of that week end. It is the day after your birthday- your age was one excuse you gave me- nine months and one week since I first danced with you- remember our conversation that night- I resolved then I would know you better- and six whole months since I started going with you, and you only. Do you wonder I hope.
My folks both expressed the hope that I had had a really wonderful time in Cedar Rapids. Someday they will love you, too, Jean, for they love me and
I love you
Bob"
