I think my boyfriend John is not happy. He spends all his free time playing baseball with his friends. I don’t like that. We don’t see each other anymore. What should I do? I think I’ve had enough of him. And as they say enough is enough. Do you think I’m right and I should dump him?</p><p>Your dear niece,</p><p>Elizabeth</p><p>DOCUMENT 2 Atlanta, Georgia April 10, 1932</p><p>My dear Betty,</p><p>I cannot believe what I’m reading! This behaviour of your boyfriend’s makes me mad and sad for you! You should keep the boy and not let him go out every night. You should ask him to spend more time with you. He’s a good guy.
