Dear Mama & Papa,
Your letter arrived at just the right second. I had just addressed the package & was going to take it to the post office. Thanks for sending my clothes from the cleaners. They arrived yesterday afternoon in A 1 condition.
Please be thinking of me during Thurs. especially because I have to write a Fr. paper, do my Religion reading & write a paper. A lot of people seem to have had trouble with the Chem. & that makes me feel a little better.
It has been very cold here for a couple of day[s]. Something is the matter with the electricity & we have no light nor [sic] till noon today. (It has been off since 8) I went to a German movie last night called the Eternal Morgue. It was a phychological [sic] study of a doctor who thought his serum had killed a patient. It was very good & different from anything I have seen before.
I hope to go to the still pictures of Poland who has the only uncensored pictures of the siege of Warsaw & also to his pictures of Germany & Finland.
Our cookies are practically gone & I would be in a receptive mood for more. (Gentle hit)
I am glad your cold is getting better, Mama. Take care of it. I sent the card to the lady.
Love & kisses,
BessieP.S. Could use more stamps.
