Darby...1970(?)

My brother, Darby, wrote me a letter when I was a sophomore
in college. He was a sophomore in H.S. and I'd forgotten how
beautiful his handwriting is. He talked of basketball practice,
school being easy and making the J.V. team. But I love this...

P.S. "I'm glad I got to talk to you tonight.
Sorry I didn't talk longer. but Mom wasn't in a good mood,
so I wasn't either, because she wasn't.
Remember the Good Word!
Beat those Bulldogs!

They are my treasure!
