honey. There is alot to tell & I'll do my best. This is Dad's pen & it write so fine. Mine is out of ink so hope this holds out. How I've wished you had been here to share the last few days [with] me. I've had a swell time but the one important person was absent. That was you honey. It will never be complete until you are here [with] me. You're what counts.
But I'll start back [with] Thurs. I finally pulled out of [Geneseo?]. Bag & baggage. Almost missed the train in [illegibie] & I was all hopped up. When I got home [Mom?] didn't even have the front door unlocked. They didn't expect me until Fri. The rest of the day was spent just tearing around doing odd jobs. I sorted out all my things & packed them in a big box. Had supper at [Bridgers?] & then [illegible] came down to [illegible] afterwards. And by the way I have the back & one front of my sweater done. Maybe
