[9 March 1923]
Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
You never commented on my Pinehurst suggestion, What did you think of it? If we don't do that, I'd just as soon come home as do anything else. Mother, I suppose Miss Schranz had better make the dress. I don't know whom else to get, do you? The material will be here by spring vacation, so I'll bring it home.
Babette Strauss told me yesterday that she had meant to tell me a long time ago that Rabbi Stern(?) wrote to her a long time ago to be sure to look me up, and I told her you had told me, too.
I worked on debate seven hours yesterday. I know a little more than I did before, I think! I think the negative has the better case, but the negative is almost always the harder to uphold.
Hope Harrisburg turned out all right, Father.
I didn't think Maud Royden said too much, either, but she "sure can talk"!
I got the enclosed note from the dean's office yesterday. Send it to Pete and return to

me. I shall cherish it in my scrap-book. All is well that ends well!
If another person sympathizes with me that I didn't get Phi Bet and tells me that she thought I would, or if any more congratulate me by mistake, I'll go batty. This morning at breakfast I had to listen to a dissertation on how terrible it must be to almost get it, but not quite! I'm afraid my bluff at indifference will soon give out!
Love,
Fannie
