Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

Sorry I couldn't write yesterday, Pete, but Marse's visit, enjoyable as it was, kept me on the go. I had lunch with him and spent most of the afternoon with him, except for academic interruptions. He left on the 5:31. I went to the station with him. I enjoyed having him very much. We had a great walk out to the Kenyon estate together. There is not much he and I agree on, otherwise all is well. He does not believe in college education for girls. Enough said.

She ended up by saying, "My best wishes for you and my sympathy for Brown when you meet them with your torough knowledge of both sides. We are betting on you!" I feel confident we will win--I don't know why. And none of us are the least excited. We had a practice of speeches last night, and will do nothing until we practice Saturday morning. We debate at 4. P.M. in Assembly Hall. We then go off to dinner with them and take them to the exhibition dance after that.

Nothing else of interest to report.

Love,

Fannie
