DADDY LONG LEGS: The Ides of March

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.
