2 very interesting so far. It is somewhat like the "Gentle [Home?]" story. However we will have to go a little farther, to get the real meaning of the story.

I was so happy to read that you will be come home in March. That isn't a long time. But it seems like years when one is waiting for a happy event to occur. And we will be waiting to give you an old fashion welcome. Dr. Van Waters forever: Name whatever you want, and we will try to see that get it.

I know when you come home, you will continue to make life pleasant here for us. And I shall be happy to try the part of Saint Martin, in your play.

Altho I am not so good at try out, But after I study the part and place myself in the character position. Than I try to do my best.

I never will forget the first night we put on the "Mikado". Ruth Shank and I took a fit of laughter and couldn't stop. I was so glad you waited until the second night to come (smile) I hope that will never happen again.

Well Doctor I must close right here I have some mathematical problems, staring me in the face. And it looks as if they are going to give me a hard time (smile) keep sweet. May God Bless you, and I will write you again real soon.

Sincerely yours, Dorothy [Faucette?]

Saturday Jan. 2, 1959 [1960?] Dearest Dr.

Thank you for my extraordinary Christmas gift. I have never seen a prettier book marker.

The ten commandments certainly will be a daily reminder for me.

Just cant thank you enough. I really like it.

I do hope you had an enjoyable holiday season and that we will be seeing you a lot

2 this new year. I just can't believe its 1960. Haven't stop smiling yet. Usually I go to bed early on New Years eve., but not this one. When new year came in I greeted it highly drinking pepsi cola. We danced for long hours. I suppose the [most?] of us have great expectations this year. At least I will really know something this year, as you know
