Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
Went for a walk yesterday and then to see Miss Cowley and then studied for two hours. I am getting sick of work.
Heard Mr. Steiner last night. The man certainly can talk, but he is so thoroughly Jewish in every single thing he does that I cannot quite forgive him for being Professor of Applied Christianity! I could have beaned him, however, when he told of a gathering which included Prof. Spaeth and Roosevelt and himself, and after giving their race mixtures, said that he was the only pure-blooded American. I never knew that a Bohemian Jew made a pure-blooded American before. He and the native Indians, I suppose! He might have made a good rabbi.
Love,
Fannie
