Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
I actually got some work done yesterday afternoon. I worked till eight-thirty last night on some English reading that I simply could not put off any longer, and then went to hear the last half of the violin concert by Florence Stern, ten or twelve years old. She certainly is a wonder. She played in chapel this morning, too.
I had planned to cut chapel this morning, but the rabbi" was Dr. John R. Mott and I thought he was worth hearing. I am very glad I went. He is by far the best chapel preacher I have heard since I am at college. I will cut next week instead, Pete. He quoted your friend, Dr. Enelow, Father.
I have been informed from reliable sources that all the Lafayette debaters are Jews. They are sending no delegation, just the three speakers.
I have spent about an hour collecting fines for absence from class meetings this semester. It is some job, collecting money from people. It is just as hard to get them to find ten cents as five dollars, I think.
Let me know when you are coming, Pete, as soon as you decide. The longer the better, you know. I really am very anxious to see you.
I am glad you took Miss Lally home with you, Mother. You are very obedient. I hope you will feel strong soon.
Love,
Fannie
