Dear Family:-
Typed transcription page 1 ……..
This can only be [scribble], for this is my “busy day”. Your letters telling of the birds and Spring-like things at home made me envious. We are way behind you, although today does feel a lot like Spring but we still have some snow left from Friday’s storm.
I had my second physical examination yesterday, and you needn’t worry about my health; I have gained six pounds!! That makes me weigh 137 gym. weight. Heaven knows what I’ll weigh if I keep on at that rate!

I had a very nice time, of course, and after Chapel came Choir practice; it was nice, and we practiced one [pretty] anthem for Easter, beside the “Psalms” and some other nice ones.

Junior (!!) ones. Isn’t that nice?
This week has been pretty stupid so far, so there’s no more news.
I am past [panicking] crazy to see you. I’ll write you about Mary C. just as soon as I find out myself! Her family [seems] undecided as to what they want her to do, and won’t say. I’m sorry to put you [in] trouble about it.
Bye bye now -
Love to all
… Ever
Marjorie.
