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.

The Spanish conference yesterday consisted of read-ing a long list of words (for purposes of pronunciation correction), and talking a little. [EC] still interests

me very much. It certainly is not hard.
I have a huge am't of Eng-lish reading for Monday.
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.
