It has now been three months since I left for college. I have been remiss in
writing and am very sorry for my thoughtlessness in not having written before. I
will bring you up to date now, but before you read on, please sit down. You are
not to read any further unless you are sitting down... Okay?
Well, then, I am getting along pretty well now. The skull fracture and the
concussion I got when I jumped out of the window of my dormitory when it caught
fire shortly after my arrival, are pretty well healed now. I only spent two
weeks in the hospital and now I can see almost normally and only get three
headaches a day.
Fortunately the fire in the dormitory and my jump were witnessed by an attendant
at the gas station near the dorm and he was the one who called the Fire
Department and the ambulance. He also visited me at the hospital, and since I
had nowhere to live because of the burnt-out dorm, he was kind enough to invite
me to share his apartment with him. It's really a basement room, but it is kind
of cute. He is a very fine boy and we have fallen deeply in love and are
planning to get married. We haven't set the exact date yet, but it will be
before my pregnancy begins to show.
Yes, Mother and Dad, I am pregnant. I know how much you are looking forward to
being grandparents and I know you will welcome the baby and give it the same
love and devotion and tender care you gave me when I was a child. The reason for
the delay in our marriage is that my boyfriend has some minor infection which
prevents us from passing our premarital blood tests and I carelessly caught it
from him. This will soon clear up with the penicillin injections I am now taking
daily.
I know you will welcome him into our family with open arms. He is kind and
although not well educated, he is ambtious. Although he is of a different race
and religion than ours, I know you expressed tolerence will not permit you to be
bothered by the fact that his skin color is somewhat darker than ours. I am sure
you will love him as I do. His family background is good, too for I am told that
his father is an important gunbearer in the village in Africa from which he
comes.
Now that I have brought you up to date, I want to tell you that there was no
dormitory fire, I did not have a concussion or skull fracture, I was not in the
hospital, I am not pregnant, I am not engaged, I do not have syphillis and there
is no boyfriend in my life. However, I am getting a "D" in History and
an "F" in Science, and I wanted you to see these marks in the proper
perspective.
Your loving daughter,
Dorothy
