Dearest Alice:

Just a few lines to tell you how entirely differently I felt today than what I did on Wednesday.

I am almost sure, dear, you can guess the reason without me explaining it to you. You will never be able to appreciate how happy you made me Thursday night and I hope and pray sweetheart, that you will always continue to do so.

Well, darling, do you know what I am thinking of just now? I'll tell you what I'll do. I will give you three guesses and if you solve the problem, I hope my thought will come true, however, I can't say for sure. Your first guess is that I am thinking if you really care for me as much as ever.

Well, dear, not so bad for the first; try again, because I am not thinking about it, but only wondering and praying that it is true. Your second one that I am thinking of you. Sweetheart that is almost right, because I am always thinking of you, but not literally speaking just at present. Shoot again, but this time you must hit the bull's eye. Your last one is that I am thinking if you are staying at home tonight alone and will give up your many numerable sophisticates friends. Honeybunch you win, that is exactly what I am thinking of. Haven't I always told you were very clever?
