Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

Kro and I played tennis after dinner, but the game was interupted by the appearance of Helen and Richard, to whom we talked for a while. Am going to Sophomore Tree Ceremonies now.

I enjoyed the lecture this afternoon very much. He talked for an hour and a half, on "The Poet of the Pearl". Since I knew absolutely nothing about the poem in question, it was very instructive. He walked out just behind us, and I was about to speak to him when three members of the English faculty came up, so I didn't wait.

Dick F. said he and Mr. Hast were class-mates. I didn't know the latter went to college.

I know nothing new, except that I spent too much time enjoying myself today to get much done on my topic. However, I have typed fifteen pages of it already.

Love,

Fannie
