FEBRUARY 3

1939 9:50 Right now my one aim in life seems to [be to] wear out this cold - (I thought I never had colds!) - This afternoon I revised + re-typed my story for Krause - (I don't think I'd be a successful writer of short stories) Heard Orson Welles in l'Anniversaire this morning! I really enjoy it... But I was so tired that about all I did this aft. was just barely get started on some posters for Eleanor - went to a game tonight. - Spence asked me to go to a C---

1942 11:00 Gee that was an awful lecture in History this morning. Babe, we're going to have to do a lot better than that. (If Wilber's going to keep coming) Stayed home tonight! Eleanor + I bought her wedding dress this aft. ordered cake + stuff
