Wednesday morning.
Dearest Mamie
I’m tired to death. My exam in algebra comes off this Saturday and I’m staying away from classes yesterday and to day so as to get rested before then. It has rained steadily for three days until this morning and it is still gray and gloomy out.
Here are answers to some of your questions.
1. I did send your letter to Mrs Snow and she sent it back to me again with a little note.

2. I got a letter from Hilda last week.
3. I wrote to Eloise, but she has never written to me so she’s as bad as I am about writing letters.
The gossip about Alice Wouds and Ola Smith is quite exciting. It seems to me I heard that Clarence Coffin was mixed up in Ola’s affair -- that she found she loved him more than Mr Holliday!

your opinion of it.
Letter saved in other correspondence
College Avenue.
My dear Miss Shipp,
You were gone This morning before I could thank you for your very kind remembrance of me when I was laid up. Thank you so much for the flowers -- to-day they make the room of a quite spring like sweetness.
Very sincerely yours,
Florence V. Keys.
Monday
Having no mind of my own this morning I copy Miss Keys -- even her handwriting after a fashion -- for your benefit. Only it really looked so much more artistic than my copy, and it was on exquisitely dainty linen paper. I’ll write again Sunday
Peg.
