Vassar College. My dearest Mother: In the same mail in which you receive this letter I hope you will also receive a little bunch of violets, just a remembrance for you all on Thanksgiving to show you that I am with you in spirit at least.

all. Perhaps you think that I am taking things a good deal for granted as I have not asked permission but I did not think it necessary Irom what you had written about my going- and to-day Papa said in his letter he would like to have me go etc. Well, Marcia has invited me to go with her and her room mate, and Miss Hoge-boom is to chaperone us.

know the address. We are going down early Friday and come back Satur-day night. Isn't that too good for anything?

With love to you and all- Your loving daughter Nett.
