Dear Family:-
Typed transcription of page 1 of letter………………………….
There really isn’t a bit of news to tell you that is the least bit interesting. It is rather an excited calm before the rush and roar of First Hall Play!
Monday afternoon Mary C. and I took tea with Miss Taylor and said goodbye to [Jeannetly]. I was awfully sorry to have her go, because I didn’t see her half as much as I wanted to. That night I went to dinner with a Senior in Main, and had the best dance in J. It wasn’t as crowded as usual and we had a grand time! Tuesday afternoon, Helen Brown had a tea over in Bowden Cottage which was lots of fun; being off campus, they could have candles

which of course we aren’t allowed to have. Then I went to dinner in Main with Katharine Taylor 1910. She is Secretary of Students’ and is a perfect dear, and has two of the funniest room-mates. I just giggled the whole time. Yesterday for a change it poured and rained, but nevertheless I trotted over to Lathrop to dinner with Cora Edgcomb - 1909’s President. And we were rewarded by having “no chapel.” 1907 is beginning to collect, and Katharine Worcester and Polly Crocker came back last night. Miss Worcester said they had seen Carol on their way through Phila. [Philadelphia], and spoke of knowing [Helen]. I only saw her for a minute as I thought such reunions were “no place for Freshman!”

Please thank Brother Bill and Helen for their nice letters.
Saturday was “flunk-note day,” and thank goodness I passed unscathed. My geometry teacher of last year would have a spell if she knew I had had “Good” on one of my papers! So far we have had very few originals, so that is the cause!
I must stop now. I am in danger of bursting ere 2.40 p.m. tomorrow!
Lots of love
from
Marjorie
