Feb. 28, 1909 Dear Dad, - Typed transcription of page 1 of letter ………………………………... Thanks so much for the “gift” which Jean delivered safely. You are an old daer, so there! Work seems so much lighter this semester that I find lots more time to play, and I am enjoying it, I can tell you. Do you know -- just 4 weeks from today I’ll be home! I am just cheering even though it is quite a while off; let’s hope it flies. As I never have a real birthday in college, I am going to have an arbitrary one this next weekend; and have a Baby Party. Half of us will be girls, and half boys, and I will have to ask some people [outside] the table to be ‘Mamma and Nurse.’ I think it will be quite fun. I have to go out to supper, and change my dress before I go, so I must stop. I suppose all kinds of exciting things are poking their noses up through the earth now, aren’t they? Thanks again for the nice surprise, and here’s a let of love. As Ever Marjorie POUGHKEEPSIE MAR [not readable] 10 [not readable] 1909 Dr. Alexander W. MacCoy 216 So. 15th Street Philadelphia
