Dear Family-
The last “Sunday letter” for some time! I have just come back from a final choir practice before Xmas music. Dorothy Sutphin and I have the honor of leading the Recessional - “Adeste Fideles” of course - which means that we are the last in and have more time to freeze in consequence! The music I think will be lovely, there is so much in it that is sweet and not gymnastic and there are several things with violin obligatos [obbligatos] that are exquisite.
Yesterday was [Second] Hall Play - Ibsen’s “Lady From the Sea”. I liked it immensely, but [opinions] differ widely. The heroine was only fair, but the men on the whole were good which is unusual, I think. The scenery with the background of a Norwegian
Last night (we and “the Kids” went in the afternoon) we turned down beds to please [Logan] and there we worked some too. I went to meet Rose [unreadable]’s aunt who is adorable - [Louisiana] [Southern].
It is freezing cold today, and “feels like snow.” I wish it would act on its feelings! Or else have some [skating] and then I could make up [Gyne].
Jean may have heard, by way of [Miss] [Swan], of the death of Miss Church, the old lady in the Messenger Room in Main; she had been at V.C. [Vassar College] for thirty years - longer than anybody else except Miss Wood. She had been sick, and then grew better, and she apparently was recovering very well. Miss [Wylie] was
We have been having the loveliest time in [unreadable] composing Xmas carols. If mine is halfway decent when it’s done, I’ll bring it home to show what a marvelous musician I have grown to be. I like my words in that immensely, and it’s so different from Everything Else.
I must stop now, so goodbye - I’ll probably write you again but in case I don’t expect me on the 5:28 Friday unless I miss the 2.55 which I hope to Pete I don’t do, because I’ll b-u-s-t!
Lovingly
Marjorie
