Friday morning
Dearest dad
I got sister’s letter this morning and I am just writing to heap coals of fire upon your head for not answering the letter I wrote you last -- I don’t know when. Ah well -- I had the best things to eat yesterday that I ever have had or expect to have!! You ought to see Mr Parrot carve. He does it even better than Mr Lyman if such a thing could be! All the Parrots are just as nice as can be and Raymond has a class mate visiting him who is perfectly lovely, and who plays the mandolin

superbly. I wish you could hear him. He is in the sharks mandolin club at Princeton - Grace’s friends and Raymond’s are all just lovely. Yesterday morning we took a long walk to the club house and bowled when we got there. Grace bear us all to pieces. In the afternoon we had a concert of college songs and played games. Lots of boys + girls came in, and they all stayed to a chafing dish tea, which I helped prepare. It was so jolly! Grace’s older sister is engaged to a Dr Van Orden who looks remarkably like Dr Duayle except that he hasn’t red hair. He’s very nice. Fare well my dear
