Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
I enjoyed Dr. Conklin's lecture very much last night, although I must say it was unscientific and popular to the extreme. He has a very good sense of humor and is a forceful speaker, as you no doubt know, Pete. I learned nothing new, but then I had an exceptionally good course last year. Is your dinner coming off, Pete? He started out by telling what a wonderful bonfire was in progress at that moment at Princeton!
I also heard an exceelent lecture on Child Labor by a man whose name I could not get and whose name is not posted, but he is a member of the Child Welfare Board, or whatever it is called.
Helen Klee was on probation because she got back late and missed a class after going down to New York to the wedding of her cousin, Louise Strauss, during the week. She is the one you asked me about last year, Mother. Her picture was in the Sunday Times last week.
Also, I have it from Jane that Marjorie Klein bumped into Leon Falk unexpectedly and much to her displeasure at the Copley while thre[sic] with Alfred Benjamin. Hence the lack of greeting to you, Pete.
Other highly important news I know of not. Splendid English.
Love, Fannie
