Vassar College.
Dearest Mother,
I have been writing eloquently for an hour and a half on feudal lords and craft guilds and Crusades -- and the worst exam is over. I am all right so far, I think.
It is queer that I should not have told you what a [crossed out] fine letter Kent wrote me, in answer to my note. He certainly is “all to the good”

the Academy. I know one of them -- Whitehead. He is Russell’s room mate, the one who was quarantined while he was there. This must be the cause of the new resolution.
It froze again last night and after the French this afternoon I am going skating -- not to cut a “[j?]” -- however. The Underwood of the score card is a well know artist, and usually does girls and horses on posters. Peggy Chevalier’s note is dear -- it makes you want to know her.
You know, Mother, Miss Richardson’s temper is notorious. It develops that a least a third of the girls in her sections have asked to be transferred every January, and the authorities have grown used to it and grant it without a murmur!

I have been sent to a new section in Latin, and I am sorry, for Miss Guthrie is perfectly great. Besides, the new arrangement gives me four recitations each on Tuesday and Thursday, and only one on Friday.
There is no question about your having been busy since --- when? and until when? From Friday noon until Monday night I
