Howdy, Folks:-


Typed transcription of page 1 of letter…………………………..
The First Hall Play is now being discussed violently on all sides. Everyone is going into raptures over the leading lady, 1908 is [unreadable] at [unreadable] on the campus, and altogether, the college is just as it was in “Jean’s day.” The play was fine - it was Bernard Shaw’s “You Never Can Tell.” It’s quite funny you know, and very interesting. I ushered and nearly burst with pride to be doing it, for I have been green with envy before this to be “not popular” in that line.
1911 and 1912 went in the afternoon, and sang [lustily], and in the evening 1911 trotted out by


the fire-escape, and sang to 1908 -- Also the Freshman did the same. I wasn’t there, tho’ [though], for Val took me, along with some other people down to see [Edeson] in “The Call of the North,” a wild blood-curdling melodrama in which all the men talked thro’ [through] their teeth, and the ingenue heroine almost touched noses with the hero when she conversed with him. Whether she thought he was near-sighted or not, I can’t say.
Today Dr. Ferris of the 1st Baptist Church of Phila. [Philadelphia] preached. He was fine, and I was ashamed not to have known anything about him.
Next week, at present, offers nothing particularly exciting, but
Open configuration options
 


I suppose things will turn up. Lilias is going to “have a man” next Saturday, and I was [unreadable] to have Bob, but of course he’s going to the Yale game -- I forgot all about it.
I’m awful sleepy, even tho’ [though] it’s not ten yet, so I’ll close with lots of love. You are so nice, and your letters are like you. Thank Jean for her [nice] note to Val. She is [bubbling] with excitement, and [I’ll] [write] you her plans later.
As Ever Lovingly
Marjorie
