My last night till I see you. Conceivably I might get home first. Comps here are tougher’n h- - -. I never dreamed a person could think up so much stuff to quiz us on. Each exam lasts 3 hours. Had history and algebra today. Both pretty easy. Dreaded Chem tomorrow. Am very scared of it. I’m not sure of it. Also English tomorrow. Spanish - Wednesday, Easy, Thursday - freedom - Friday home. Almost too good to be true. Suitcase arrived today. No space nor time left. All my love to the best Mom & Dad a guy ever had.
