Dear Mother, Daddy, and Sandy,

I am thoroughly disgusted with this place now. They have ordered me to teach classes in chemistry four study nights during the week. They last about an hour to an hour and a half of the 2 ½ hr. [hour] study period. It breaks it up just so I won’t be able to go to the library to do anything else. Now I have to study in the afternoons so I haven’t been able to get out any this quarter. For one thing the job is an upperclassmen’s [sic] and another is that I have no authority to keep it orderly so very little gets done.

I am really shot for I have had a terrific sore throat and cold this week. I have been getting orange juice though regularly. It is a great deal better today.

Nothing has happened much.

[Words crossed out]

I have been so busy today so that is the reason this letter is late.

With lots of love,
Jimmy
