Dear Susie Sweet,
I am coming to Troy this X-mas vacation. Now I can start counting the days and hours. Exactly 10 days* to go. 80 periods. Only 10 lousy English periods. I don't know the dates yet, but I'll be there. If you are not there it won't be [sic] Such is life.
You seemed peeved when you wrote about the pink envelop [sic], perfume, and long letters. You weren't mad at poor little me? By the way when the maid walked in my room she asked me what kind of perfume you use. My room smells like the breath of springtime. Let's leave this topic in abeyance before I get in more trouble.
Shiela [sic] called me up to tell me about some "deal" she was working out. You ought to hear more about that soon.
By the way I hate pink envelops. [sic] White with blue trimmings are so beautiful. White envelops with blue trimming reminds me of a sweet face I see only twice a year.
I was telling all the boys around here about how great you are; when I mention Schenectady one of the guys mentioned a cousin in the latter. He is 15 years old and his name is Howie Feldman. Do you know him? They live near Union College.

The song I dedicated was Memphis Tenn. I agree with you and think "Heartaches by the Number" is a good choice. Maybe one of Johnny Mathis would be a good idea too. Would you be kind enough to suggest one.
Oh, baby, I'll never forget that time we spent in the kitchen - when you said to me, "I bet you were never kissed in the kitchen before." That poor dishwasher we turned on - that is what the power of your kiss is -
I finished that history term paper at 5:00 AM. Then I decided it was time to start my homework. I know Peter Gunn, Sing Along with Mitch, and More Sing Along with Mitch by heart.* Luckily I didn't have too much homework. I had at least 2 hours sleep that night. *I played those albums all nite long.
Wednesday
Its [sic] eleven days since that famous day. It seems like such a long time. Soon Xmas vacation will come and we'll be all set.
I have a picture here but I am not going to send it because I needed a haircut before it was taken. I'll get one soon. OK? (In other words in the picture I look like a SLOB)
If you didn't send the ring already, why don't you hold it until the X-mas vacation. Look inside of the ring and find my middle initial.
If you haven't already (I Don't know why you wouldn't have) would you please throw away the letter that I mentioned the pink envelops in. I never said what I did. NO, I mean I didn't mean to sound like I did because I meant to be kidding around, you know. That letter was a loser anyway.

Dear Sir
Dear Susie Sweet,
I bet your formal is beautiful. I know though, that it would not look so beautiful on any girl but you.
I am sending the hostel booklet. It is probably to [sic] late for Christmas trips but maybe Easter, or sometime you might like to go on their "great trips." I doubt it though.
Wait! OH, NO! I can't find the booklet. The maid must have thrown it out.
Some day soon (after I get my senior liscence [sic]) you'll have to come here for a weekend. Sat. nite drive into N.Y. and go to a Broadway show then to Greenwich Village. OK?
Take care of yourself -
Love and kisses
Andy

and in my soul am free,

PPS We "has" some more family trouble this week. I pasted a picture of my hero (Alfred E Neuman) on the dashboard of our car. My father claims that the cops will give him a ticket now. He always puts notes on the windshield when parking in N.Y.C. They are
Dr. Schwebel
or
Handing [sic] Student's business
Professor Schwebel
He thinks the cops won't believe the notes when they see Alfred E. Neuman's picture.
What do you think?
Love again,
Andy

Bobby would probably have never noticed the ring had I not often let him play with it. He must have wanted to play with it when he asked and then told me. You know the story with brothers.
By the way I need some more hairs! Nice long ones. If you go bald you can blame me. Thank goodness the vacation is soon and I'll get more than hairs. Maybe even a big kiss and a warm smile. Eh?
