Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

Now for another morning topic-ing. there is nothing to tell you, but I dare not write a post-card again. The Cambridge post-office might object!

Yes, there is some news. Bill Wasserman is having K. Stein down at Princeton this week-end and invited her to Prom at Commencement. She cannot go to the latter, but she is going down today.

What do you mean when you say Uncle Simon is glad to hear of my progress? If he means health, I am not aware of the fact that I have made any.

I had a letter from Aunt Hattie, telling me in case I didn't know it, that I had used very good taste!

Classes stop Thursday, June first.

I wrote about the dates the other day, Mother. I will be able to make Wednesday afternoon--the only thing is that I would like to know ahead if possible. If the doctor isn't there Thursday, I certainly would like time to fool around up here a little longer.

Love, Fannie

The low-neck sweater came from Peck and Peck the other day, and fits much better than the large one, but the low-neck is so very low, that I do not like it that way. So Kro is taking them down to New York with her this week-end and will exchange it for me--I did not want to write and have one sent again--on a newly opened charge. Will let you know when she returns Sunday, and you can pay your bill then.

Exam schedule:--Zo and Heredity Friday morning.
French Rev Saturday morning - 10:50 to 12:50
J Monday morning--I think 8:30 to 10:30
Social Psych--Tuesday morning--10:50 to 12:50

I haven't got a printed schedule here, so I am not certain of the hours for French Rev and J, but I know they are on the mornings of those days--I just don't remember whether they are first or second periods.

My Corona will have to go to the factory, so I think I'll let them send it and have it fixed right, so that it will last--and have it shipped straight home. I won't want it after I leave college and before I get home and it might just miss me coming back here.
