April 17, 1958

Dear Thom,

Your letter came Tuesday as a very pleasant surprise.  I wasn't expecting any mail and I didn't even look in the box, but one of my associates,  Ed Kearse of Binghamton, N.Y. by name (we call him Ed Kearse for short) informed me that there was a letter in my box.  If it hadn't been for Krause, I still would not have found your transcript so send him a note of thanks when you have the time.

So much for the banalities.  I think your timely gift to S was an excellent idea.  At least your purchase will help to alleviate the recession.  As for your "snow campaign" I think S is more than sufficiently snowed, and, unless you are contemplating an early marriage, I suggest you park the plow and wait until she digs herself out.  With the price of shotgun shells dropping day by day one must constantly be on one's guard lest parental justice exact its terrible toll.

Your studies concerning both the size and relationship of S's anatomical  concavitures and convexities, one to another, show an astute application on your part of all the complexities of that interesting theory propounded by Messer. Braile long these many years.  It is reassuring to see that modern youth has not entirely disregarded the past achievement of our forebearers, but rather in some cases has improved upon them.

Tomachura, I salute you!  Take your place with H as student of the month.

We had better not publish these things after all, the references are too pointed.

H has to work at the stand again this summer due to recession.  Last Sunday, April 13,  he had to open up for the smelt fisherman.  Pissed him off.

Bob
