October 22, Thursday.
Dear Hubie,
I'm real sorry I haven't written you in a while, but I've been so busy with six weeks tests and all. John has been so nice, we only had a few fights but they were all my fault. Once I flirted too much with Jimmy Kincaid. I do wish he'd understand just a little more but I guess I was wrong to do it. It's just habit! Another time he and some boys put something very nasty in Carol Kirk's locker. I was kind of hurt at that. Other than that everything went along real fine.
Guess who was just here. John, who else? He like to scared me to death. I was sitting here writing you and he pecked on the window and I about died. You can't even begin to feel the way I did. We didn't talk too long. It was too cold on the porch. He said he'd call me later.
How are you and Hubertha? You know, she really likes you - almost as much as I like John. She likes to date you and thinks you are a lot of fun. She told me you two are going to a Halloween party all dressed up as Beatniks. I also heard you don't like the idea too much. Is that true? Well, that's all for now.
Love, Jane
