Dear Mother + Father:
I have an awful lot to work out for the debate in the next few days, so my letters will be very brief.
I did academic work for 3 hrs. yesterday + 1 today - hurrah!
The other debate is Apr. 29 with Williams. I don't know if [...red?] here or there. We [never know which side we're on till a wk. before the debate.
If you [want] to go to one, I think the debate with girls' colleges are more even + more interesting. I therefore advise Smith.
Your letter of "condolence" went to the right spot. I'll tell you a few very gratifying things when I see you this week!
I think Cousin Aaron would be ashamed to hold up his head. To my mind that is the worst piece of [ingratitude] I ever heard of. [To] do it without telling father, even, is the worst of it. Wouldn't you think mere common decency + [self] respect not be as scarce as they apparently are?
I'll be glad to see you at Smith if you really care to go. Sat., Mar 17, evening.
[In haste].
Fannie
Have always forgotten to tell you that for the last 10 days my reg. pain has been [trewen down + improved!]
