Vassar College.
Dearest Mother,
If you knew that it is ten-thirty and that I have just finished my work, I know that you would rather that I should write a short letter, and get some sleep. This is the third day this week that I have had to study eleven hours, and tomorrow is not going to be much better.

I am very sorry that I was persuaded to join a class on the Negro question in which I am not especially interested. It takes up time which could be more profitably spent, and now I feel bound to go.
Hope your cold was successfully avoided. We are having the most wonderful weather changes here imaginable. The winter is merely showing its accomplishments and giving all possible phases of beauty. It snowed yesterday, and last night cleared for the full moon. Today has been extremely windy, and the snow has been blowing, drifting, and filling the whole air.

I do not believe I know Mary Wren.
Caroline [Cougdon?] and Clara Bull - the two Lathrop sophomores I admire so much - were the top candidates in the election of class marshal last week. This is practically a decision of the most “stunning” girl in the class. Clara was elected but neither of them could
