Hi Joe!
Gosh don't blow up! I didn't say I would write once a week. I just said shall we write once a week & then you did it but I didn't, haha! Oh well, you know how it is! I'm going to school and don't have time to think of anything to write about! Let's forget it!!!
Thanks a lot for the pictures! They are really swell & I hope that I can send you some some day, when I actually get a camera! That's probably never, huh!!!
Matsu Iiyama came over a couple of weeks ago & stayed to eat supper! At first it seemed like something swell to see him but he stayed 5 1/2 hrs. & that was just too long! Please take a hint and never visit anybody over 2 hrs. It has really something to cause people to get mad about!!!!!
Mom sent you some yokan for your birthday. Hope you like it! I sent you a card, too! Hope it is something you'll enjoy!!
Lately I have been driving myself nuts by worrying for a certain test. Finally I took it last Monday & was I ever worried. If you flunked the test you would have to take Basic Math before graduating. The test was a math

test & I know I'm weak in it, so I was really worried. Boy, I prayed so hard to god to let me pass the test & I really did pass it! Gosh, what a relief it was!! Before the test, I studied Tor's math book that he sent back with his junk!!! Gee, I'm so happy about the test!!! I guess I'm not as dumb as I really thought I was!!
Pop went through a stop signal some time ago & he is going to court tomorrow to face the music! I don't think it's too bad, though. Just a fine!!
I can't think of any thing to say so I'll close this letter now.
So Long
Mas
P.S. I hope I can get in the writing mood like before but until I do get in the mood, don't expect to hear from me!
