Notes

Text: “Wednesday night. Sweetheart - My Own — How can we ever tell you how much we enjoyed and how much we appreciated the Xmas box and how can I ever tell you how much I love you. I’ve about given up hope of ever being able to tell you. I just have a few minutes before I must rush down for my E. A. Exam, at 7:30. We are all three going to write you tomorrow night, but I just had to let you know how much we all love you. We had our Materia Med exam this afternoon, and I believe I did real well on it The grades of the anatomy quiz we had last week were just up this afternoon — and I made an A, Gents and A, and Little Brother B. I love you, I love you, I’m so glad you will be with us Xmas. Those little surprises were just screams, and we all died laughing at them. Kiss me quick, as I won’t make a plunder tonight. Your own, Felix.”
