Mother, dear -
You’ll probably see in the paper (if you look) so I might as well tell you I broke the record at Indoor Track meet for Swing Jump. It was seven feet, 1 ⅛ inches - and I went seven feet 5 1/2in.

Freddie came up for breakfast this a.m. We had grape-fruit, real cocoa, and [cannied] cherries plus some college-rolls one of the girls brought us. I still have German to do - so bye-bye, am practicing like the “doose” these days - oh! The pursuit of music is no idle dream! Muriel
