[Nov. 15 1911?]
Dearest maman -
You’re such a peach! It certainly was dear of you to remember about the “times” and to subscribe for me - I’ve been faithfully perusing its columns all evening in a wild endeavor to trace to date the Chinese and Italian-Turkish campaigns.
Do you realize that in ten (X)(10) (1111111111), dix, decem, etc days I’ll be to home! I do - I expect to be reckoning

up the hours ere long. I had an invite from Bill today to the E.H.H.S - [Poly] game on Thanksgiving and I’m that thrilled! I never went to a real football game (or base-ball either for that matter) in my life unless you count those at C.C.D. Betty Ralston has just returned from a Cornell house-party so I am brimming over with that just now for she’s been down telling me all about it. It was a [O K Y][Phi Kappa Psi] dance and she had one grand time, I guess. She’s been invited up for the May party during Navy week and for the Junior Prom. Dear! Dear! why doesn’t Sir Franklin get busy and ask one up for the Prom - if he could only see those brown

shoes I’m sure he’d want to. I’m wild to go to a Cornell party, but I don’t see much prospects. I haven’t written Dick that I’m not coming up there Thanksgiving yet - had a letter from him yesterday after a protracted silence of 2 weeks or more, so he won’t get told just yet either.

Gym work began today. I must see about having my dancing-suit

made. Mrs. Overacher was up today but I didn’t know it until she had gone. However, she’ll probably be up again in the near future. She’s the “loidy” what makes the gym suits, dancing skirts, etc.
I’m going down-town tomorrow to get my white suit skirt fitted at a Miss Hornbeck’s on Main Street. I must be getting thin or something - anyway in its present state it’s impossible, hence the change needed.
Enclosed find a program of First Hall Play and a sample of what yours truly concocts in Harmony. Most frequently in the past we were given the Soprano - parts to fit the rest of

the quartette voices to, but lately we’ve had to make up the whole business. So far we’re limited to the use of certain chords which makes our compositions crude though correct.
