Dear Mother:
Just received your letter. My honest opinion is that you should go to whatever you prefer. I think that you see your college friends so rarely that you should purge yourself from the Pittsburgh Jewish atmosphere, and get as much college as you can the few days up here. The class say luncheon is in the Circle Monday noon, or in Students'. It is boring in either case. It merely am'ts to eating together on^campus instead of at the Lodge if it rains. ^It is boring in etIt is absolutely a case of which you prefer. I am white able to take care of the family alone, if that is what bothers you. So if you think you'll enjoy the Alumnae Luncheon--and I should think that would be the best of the three you are eligible for--I would certainly go, in your case.
Did Mrs. Heavenrich tell you that her daughter, who is the class baby of their class, is already married? Which remind me that I just sent my regrets to Dreifus's.
Helen Stern was up for Saturday evening and Sunday morning, only. They came to see me Sunday morning, but I was at chapel. Sorry I missed them. I had a great curiosity to see her fiance.
Glad Mr. Kaufmann is better. If I had had time to breathe, I should have written to Lucy.
Tell Aunt Hattie that I was at tea at Miss Little's in the Alumnae office last week, and that I met her classmate Miss Sawyer there, who said she lived next door to Aunt Hattie Freshman year. She sends her her best regards.
Love,
Fannie
