One of the boys brought me your letter to school today, and I surely enjoyed ht. Have an oral quiz tomorrow, and absolutely must learn all about it tonight. Excuse me please, for I love you and only you, and it’s all for you, else I wouldn’t do a bit of it. Kiss me real sweet, so I can concentrate and study hard. […] & dearest - Felix.”
