Mary dear -

Undoubtedly, about this time you are whooping it up at Darnlovey’s dive with teh remnants of the Buell - Hockett wedding party. Or didn’t the event go off as scheduled? I do hope it doesn’t turn into one of those “five o’clock” affairs.

The train was two hours late yesterday arriving at Miami, Beach and another ??? were at the station and drove me over here ???? is fine.

Instead of the sunshine, I have seen a “hell of a lot” of rain. However, it cleared this afternoon and I got in a swim and a sun bath on the beach. Storms are scheduled for tomorrow, so I might look like the white angel rather than the live lobster.

Got two (2) tickets today for the orange Bowl Classic, as it is called. Ftr. Hugh Radigan is going with me. I can understand now why it is so difficult up North to get them georgetown requested 3000 and were given only 700. they keep all ofthem down here and sell them at scalping prices ($6.60) each.

I hope Doris and you got home allright the other night. It was nice of you to take me to the train. Alos, I was ahead of time when I arrived at your house, wasn’t I?

I have thought about you an awful lot since i left and I’ve missed you too. Really mary, I do wsh you were down here We could have just as good a time as we did on the drive up and down Mt. Royal.

Have my reservations to fly back. Please don’t say anything about flying as my mother will worry. Leave here at 9:30P.M. Jan. 4 and arrive in Ney York the following morning at 6. If I don’t have to meet my father in N.Y. the next day, I’ll go on to Buffalo the same afternoon. And I hope to see you that night.

It is a long, long time, dear, since I have written this kind of letter, but I want you to know I am thinking of you and missing you just “a hell of a lot”.

All my love, Bill
