Dear Family:-
We really have “begun” at last, for practically everybody is here, and everybody is flying around “looking up” Freshman or falling on each others’ necks with loud kisses! It’s more fun to have them here, though.
Lilias came Friday night, and looks so well, and so pretty. She brought me a lovely scarf, and two strings of beads and three cunning French handkerchiefs - I feel so gay! We have been kept busy

meeting Freshman, and are so proud of ourselves.
Julia [unreadable] has a cutey cousin here in Raymond whom she told me to be good to, so I took her up in the choir tonight and scared her nearly pea-green. Prexy preached this morning, and he was so splendid and so practical. Miss Tylor is back and I saw her last night after Lucy Atwater’s wedding and she was beautifully dressy. Of course nothing particularly exciting has happened:- all out table is back now, since Margaret Brady got here

Tonight, and you may be sure we are rejoicing. Work begins tomorrow and I expect to be initiated into the mysteries of Chemistry soon. I hope next time I’ll have some real news.
Hope you are all well. We are. The room is really going to be stunning I think - we are going to have red “fixings.” Lilias brought some stunning cream colored curtains with red and green in them. Maybe we’ll be good-looking sometime.
Love to all
As Ever
