Dearest,
Hazel is going to come over pretty soon and keep me company while I do some of my work.  And maybe I'll loaf if she helps me do that!  I called her up a bit ago  So I'll write your letter now as I don't need help to do that and it won't be fun for her to "just set" while I write.  And getting your letter written is the most important thing of the day.
Lunched at home again today while reading your letter a lot of times.  I hope they don't give you duties so that you can't write as the letters are the best part of the day.  Sprague asked me yesterday if I heard from you.  I said yes.  He said every day?  I said yes.  He predicted you would get over that in a year, I remarked it wouldn't take long to be a year now.  He guessed it would not and smiled pleasantly.  He said he had your address, I suppose Fred gave it to him, and he figured he might write some day because you'd probably like to hear the gossip.  He might know the gossip too?
Went to (Penines?) office on so business today.  He had missed me and ask where

Saving...
