Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
There is not much in the way of news. Pap White took our math class today. His teaching surely is as punk as it is reputed to be. It did not occur to him once during the whole hour to use a figure in his proofs, and several times he went all through the proof, and then said, "But that is not what I started out to prove". I am glad I have Miss Wells.
I have no work for tomorrow, so I can continue my Latin review. The stuff I did at home certainly did not stick.
Otherwise there is nothing new, a la M. L. A.
Love,
[Fannie]
