When I sent you that telegram I was [congested]. It is a trifle startling to go from a temperature of 20 [degrees] to zero in the space of 5 hours and all very good! It was just agonizingly cold, but it has gotten warmer since then only it has amused itself by sleeting most of the time. Today is good, though, and we are hoping for skating soon.
The collars from Jean arrived safely and I was much pleased to get them. Friday night we had a lecture-concert on Richard Strauss’s new opera, “Electra,” and it certainly was interesting. The man who gave it played beautifully and as he gave you the motifs beforehand, it was doubly interesting. Saturday afternoon Val took me to see the Yale Dramatic

Association in London Assurance and it was capital. The heroine had a deep bass roar, but was very pretty and looked quite kittenish. The boys are very finished and very easy, and in spots you almost forgot they were amateurs. They had their own orchestra along to play “between acts,” and it was fair -- they didn’t always keep together perfectly. It compared unfavorably with the “[unreadable]” under Ken Clark, but compared with ours!!!
Caroline is here alive and kicking in spite of some slight remains of her cold. Lilias hasn’t come back yet, for she has had the tonsillitis and so is still in Niagara Falls. We are expecting her daily, and are anxious to see her, you may be sure.
Everybody [shivers] at the [unreadable] of semesters, but so far everybody [unreadable] quite cheerful. Frances McCord and Katherine Worcester expect to come up to V.C. [Vassar College] on the 19th

for a flying visit before they go abroad on the 20th. We are all hoping and praying for plenty of snow after semesters, so we can go on all the sleigh rides we are planning, such as one for all the Juniors in Raymond! We are planning new officers for next semester, and altogether are trying to forget what [unreadable] one semester from another!
It was a grand vacation and I got firmly rested. I hope the [unreadable] has ceased to be, but that Cousin Lizzie is still there.
My love to everybody
As Ever
Marjorie
