Peferuary 1?, 1921 Dear Mother, Father, and Pete: ' ^ I am sorry that I could not write to you to Philadelphia, but I would have had nothing to say anyhow. I had to burn the midni-ht oil last iiisht. I did not do it out of desire, but t. there v/as some v/ork for today that si iply' had to be turned. Bo I worked till eleven-thirty. That sort of thing does not hurt particularly, unless you acquire the habit, and I don^t expect to acquire the habit. I have debate tryouts tonight again. I shall have to Y/ork all afternoon on my speech, a a I .was' given a new stand, a,nd I don't happen to have much definite knowlege or statistics on it. Nothing particularly exciting happened in classes tonight. The package fron Atlantic carne in thesarae mail as your letter, Mother. Thank you Very imuch for it. The enclosed snap-shot Yms taken, not to show off my new sv/eater, but l^ecause it was such a glorious day, because I v/as out Y7ith Helen, and because she happened to have her camera with her. It v/as the day after the big snow-storm, when the trees viere so beautiful. Plaase sand it to Pete. I will send you another one, if you v^ant lt--if you think this one is any good.
