Dear Mother + Father,

I just came from a French Club meeting. We are going to have a 2 day drive ([Gag] Day) to raise $500 for shoeless children of France. The request came from a Vassar graduate, who is doing work over there. We are going to have the tags in the form of shoes, and have a desk in the soap palace on which will be placed a very large cardboard shoe. The money will be dropped into it. We will have real shoes on a table in the halls those two days to catch people as they come out from dinner.

I have lab this afternoon. It tires me, but I don't think much more than it would even if I were perfectly well.

We had a meeting of '22 and '23 of Davison last night, in connection with our [stunt] party, which is coming off next Friday night. I think it will be pretty good.

Me for my [Corona] next time. I am spoiled.

Has Gdpa. been sick again? R.S.V.P. honestly.

Why did Aunt B. come?

[Paps], is your right hand sore or is your pen broken?

Love,

Fannie

What about your trip East?
