Text: "Thursday night. My Own own Precious -- I'd give give anything in the world to be with you tonight -- I'm so blue, so lonesome, and so disinterested in everything and everybody here. I've had a terrible case of the blues all afternoon and tonight -- maybe because I only slept about four hours last night on account of studying for that anatomy exam this morning. Yes, it was a fairly easy exam, but a long and pretty thorough one, and I won't take less than a B for my paper. It was terribly hot all afternoon, and surely was hard to have to put in the whole time up at school, when I could just feel myself hitting that [...]. Right after supper we drove over to the docks to see the cruiser and the four destroyers that came in this morning. I enjoyed you letter so much today and am sorry I had to miss a day writing, and am sorry it will be too late to get this one off tonight in time to reach you tomorrow. I also got a long letter from mother today, again telling me about my extravagances and what not and leaving me high and dry for the rest of the term -- with two dollars on hand! Oh, I guess I will come out all right, because I haven't been extravagant and she overestimated nearly a hundred dollars the account of money I have had this year. -- -- But why should I tell you this -- it's really not worrying me as much as it sounds like. I wish I could be there to see your May Fest tomorrow and the other one Monday. Yes, a whole lot of that seems unnecessary and useless, but, it takes a whole lot of that sort of thing to hold the interest of kids in school and especially the smaller ones. And hey! What wouldn't I have given to have partaken of your supper, and to have spent the evening with you when you "didn't have anything else to do"! To have you with me, to hold you and love you -- there's nothing I want or need more. But I guess I'll have to go take it out on the punching bag and then the cold shower -- the mosquitoes are about to eat my ankles up -- to return to the ridiculous! I love you, sweetheart, with all o' me. Your own Felix."
