Mark Schwartz Monday evening
Dear Sue,
I received your letter a few days ago, and I have to ask you to forgive the tardyness [sic] of my reply. New Years Day I woke up with a fever, glandular disturbenses [sic], etc., and still haven't completely regained my power of speech.
First off the bat I would like to get one matter straight. I was just following the example set by "the boys" re your little(?) brother. I was only joking when I called him a hood, and realize that he is far from being so.
I'm glad you found the envelope interesting. I normally wouldn't use that stationary [sic] but I didn't have any of my own at Yale.
My schedule hasn't been as interesting as yours. A date for Saturday, a party for that night, and a party for Sunday all had to be refused.
YpUp until today the weather has been beautiful. A boy gave me the best discription [sic] of todays [sic] temperature I have yet to hear - "It's colder than a brass seat in an outhouse in the Yukon." Enough said (or too much)Thanks for Ronnie's address, but one thing I can't grasp. Maybe I am "thick" but would you please explain your statement - "Now I am a doll - right?". Tell him his letter should arrive shortly. Incidentally - do you want a copy of it - for you or younger brother? I hope not.
Re my name - unless they changed it, you spelled it well and correctly.
Hope to hear from you soon
Mark
