Speaking of operas - why do you bother about putting on anything for Mrs. S. if she is not for letting you have your way? Why not save your energy for something that will mean more for you than the uncertain appreciation of the Missourians? Wait until you get to Iowa City. The folks there won't be so worried if one of your chorus girls shows a wee bit of calf, and will probably enjoy the music more. 
I'm terribly sorry, that BIlly Ballagh is mad to me for stealing you from him. But he ought to realize that he is married and bald-headed and that the war won't last forever - and that I'm going to make you happy enough that the waiting will be repaid. N'est ce pas? We had another examination today. It was not so worse as last Friday, but trying enough. I'm a bit brain fagged. 
I love you immensely. 
Your hubby.
