Sept. 28, 1920.

Dear Mother + Father,

I stayed in Main with Lucy for lunch + now it is raining, so I'll stay here for awhile. The dining-room here certainly is packed + noisy.

By the way, Dr. B. performed her task satisfactorily Sunday night. I [felt] good yesterday, but not so good today. Yesterday was a terribly [strenuous] day, though.

How about those Ec books?

As usual, I am in a hurry. Love,

Fannie
