Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

I was glad to talk to you last night, Father, but you certainly did have on your polite, smooth, and agreeable tone. What was up?

As the plans now stand, i leave on the 5:08 tomorrow, and meet the others to take the eight oclock to Philadelphia, stay with Florence Clothier, one of the debaters. Had a special from M. W. today. She will call for me Sunday morning. I suppose I can come back with some of the others, Mother, but I would just as soon not, as I am taking along some plays to read on the train.

It would be foolish to stay here over the week-end, as I have worked like a dog all week. and would have to let up here, even if I staid. I shall read these plays on the train, so very little time will be lost.

We had a fire-drill last night, late. In consequence I'm sore at the world today. Spent the entire morning, four hours, reading debate. The more I read the more strongly I become convinced that prohibition is a good thing. Most of the material repeats everything else, so I think I have done most of the necessary reading now. Love, Fannie

Please return enclosed letter, Pete.
