Dear D.-L.-L.,
I am studying Latin prose composition. I have been studying it. I
shall be studying it. I shall be about to have been studying it. My
re-examination comes the 7th hour next Tuesday, and I am going to pass
or BUST. So you may expect to hear from me next, whole and happy and
free from conditions, or in fragments.
I will write a respectable letter when it's over. Tonight I have a
pressing engagement with the Ablative Absolute.
Yours--in evident haste
J. A.
