Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
I am enclosing my schedule, an enclosure which I received from Pete, my birthday check from Marse which you will please attend to, Father, and a letter which I received from Miss Schroder. Tell her that when i washed the combings, I did not intend taking them out to her to fix, that I have no more, and that she should do what she can with them, as I want the articule that they were to make.
Marse announces himself in New York and askes me to spend Friday night and Saturday with him. It is impossible for Many reasons. "It never rains, but it pours". Jeanette Fellheimer, entirely univited, announced herself by mail today for Saturday night and Sunday. I wrote to her asking her if she could not come the following week instead. She and Mil Gutwillig are going to start out walking, and when they get tired take a train! I have a topic in French Rev due Monday and I have scarcely started it. Moreover, Mohonk is Saturday and I don't want to miss that. So it does not seem as though I will have much time for work as it is. I asked him to come up here Friday afternoon and play golf if he cares to, but I don't suppose he will, and it will suit me just as well, in the pressue of time, if he does not.
I am forced to admit that Zo lab was very interesting this morning. I examined a star-fish egg, an amoeba, etc. under the microscope. Did you have difficulty in locating things, Pete, when you first started to use a microscope?
Love, Fannie
Mother, I cannot send my laundry this week, as Luckey's are all out of cases and so is the college book-store.
