She said she did, but it is beyond me how she does, or rather, when she puts it there. She ways that she makes up bottles of 25% solution of argyrol in the infirmary, because that is what she uses for other purposes there. Then, when she gives me the treatment, (immediately before putting the argyrol into the catheter) she dilutes the 25% to 10%). The letter which I brought from home told her to boil the catheter every time). She said that even when everything is sterile and disinfected, there is no guarantee that an infection cannot get into the bladder, because there is no way of proving whether so-called sterile things really are sterile, and that if I were to get another infection into my bladder which is already infected, she would not consider it her fault or the fault of the one giving the treatment. She says she has seen that happen in hospitals even when every precaution has been taken, and probably Dr. Z. has seen it, too. She said it had never happened to anyone that she has treated as yet though. She said that that is a risk which the person receiving this sort of treatment risks. R. S. V. P. about all this. I have felt as good for the last four days as I did when I left home.I have written to Fannie several times referring to her blood for [treatment] and [suggesting] that she [hooks] up with you the [Monday in which Dr Z plans upon slingskin of the etc etc From the little she has said in reply] I imagine she has [hesitated about talking to you and I am nervous writing direct feeling soon that you will understand that if I lay under supheses upon what you be already doing without any suggestion from me, it is because of my over anxiety concerning Fannie. Thats a way mothers have said I know you will make allowances for my nervousness about her. I am always so fearful of further infection and while I know that seems] when all precautions are used there is still a [minimum] of danger, we want to keep the possibility to the minimum [dont we]. Dr. Z was always [anxous that] [Express appreciation] - happy to feel she is her charge etc.

This morning it was normal, so they let me out for classes. I took it easy today, and only went for a short walk. My throat is very sore, and my ears hurt. I have been gargling with listerine. This afternoon my temperature was 99 2/5. I just took some castor oil, and shall eat no dinner. I suppose if you hadn't tell me that you had fever for a long time and that the doctor kept you in bed I shouldn't feel so worried or uncertain about myself, but as it is I don't know if I am making a mistake going out or not, and I don't want to stay cooped in the Infirm on the other hand. It drived me crazy over there--I get the willies worse than an infant. Just now I am going back there to sleep, so i think I'll go to bed and read in bed. (6 P. M) Meanwhile I am feeling too rotten these days to get any work done. I am scared of gripe infections--after all the discussions of those possiblities with regard to my old pain. Please write me a special with some advice--what to do. I am discouraged as the dickens, and I admit it. And you need not bother showing this to Father--he'll just kid me. Love, Fannie

I asked her what she did to people who flunk [quizes]. She said she could not imagine me flunking one, but if I did, she would give me another one, because she would know that there was something the matter. Whereupon she asked me perectly seriously if I got an A in everything last semester! I told her I pleased my family very much by not doing so. She was very much amused. She surely is great. I wish she were not such high and mighty faculty, so that I could get to know her better. I always thought she was young, but I discovered that she graduated from Mt. Holyoke in 1904. Miss Wylie's Freshman English lecture yesterday afternoon on "Reading" was very fine. It's too bad that ou have to wait to be a senior to have her. My medicine tastes exactly like Dr. [Furness's]. Is it the same? I still have some of that left. Dr. B is ordering some Poland water for me. She says this water is all [right] only that it is hard, - but I might as well try the other. The debate victory must have been a great one. The only one of the judges who voted against us wrote on the ballot. "I vote for Colgate, because of its splendid [or atory], but Vassar has the facts." Love, FannieDear Mother, I guess I am starting something new. This is the third time I am ahead of time, three weeks to the day. I am getting [sense] in my old age, and staying in bed today, in spite of the fact that I missed a math quiz. That means two of them to make up! But it is pouring out, and I was afraid to risk it! I will stay in bed till tomorrow morning and at Metcalfe until next Monday. Telegraphing is no longer necessary. You know it did not dawn on me till yesterday that one of the things that may have hurt me was walking the stairs all the time. [We] did not have an elevator boy until Saturday. I wrote to [Gdpa.] last night but I'm afraid he won't get it in time, so I'll telegraph him tomorrow. FrancescaMother Mother

Show mored Octot^r 13, 1922 Dear Mother, Father, and Pete: I am sorry that I could not get off a real letter either yesterday or today, but when I came back yesterday after fifth hour to get my racket, I: fourid a note on my-door ^from, Aurit', ' Hattie. ^ TheyVhad Just arrived at lunch time, and I found them in the parlor. The thrill of^eing surprised, instead of having their arrival announced, was quite enjoyable. The only difficulty was tkat I had both a Renaissance and a Drama topic due tod^ , and a great deal of work still to do on both of them» Had they written they were coming, I could easily have had them out of the road. I spent the rest of the afternoon shewing them around, talking to them, showing them my room, etc. We had dinner at the Lodge. Ihey insisted on my bpinging the kids along. Aunt Hattie made quite a hit with them, but I don't know about her bashful husband. They found out pretty quickly that he is basnfull I donH quite know what he made of having five girls at dinner when he was the lonesome gentleman of the party. I left them after chapel and worked till eleven, and finished the topics. Then I met them this morning after my last morning class at elven-thirty, and they left on the two o'clock train. I certainly didanjoy having them here, and the/ did not interfere with work to any harmful degree at all. Your point of view about college, college activities, etc., Mother, is at least eight years younger than Aunt Hattie's instead of eight years older. This afternoon we walked out to the cider mill, and got some delicious cider. It was a heavenly day. The fäiliage is gorgeous now. Mother, I wish after you are up that you would please send Hie Zangwill's "Chidlren of the Ghetto" and also 'Dreamers of TO the Q-hetto" . I am going to dornan Ec topic on ''The Family among the Jews"! Haha! That is a topic that is taken every year, and I thought I might contribute a personal element this year, o if it was done by a Jewish girl. Besides which, I thought it g would be infinitely more interesting than the family among the PQ Mormons, Turks, Japs, or any other people| and I am not origM- a to do any other kind, such as the high-brow one done last § year on the family in Greek tragedies. We are at present taking ^ up the patriarchal organization of the family, and Millsy called ^ onme to find out way we should be studying the Hebrew family, ^ rather than the Chinese, for instance! I felt highly honored by the comparison. (D \0 ^ There is nothing else of Interest to report. I have to u spend all tomorrow doing the Tolerance topic that was due last ^ week, and then I shall have caught up with my work. N Q> Si Si I dOy^'t know what you mean, iother, by all the parcels. I got everything from home that I ordered. I am going to write to Paulson's to send my fur coat pretty soon. It is getting awfully cold. Helen just appeared--she sends her best regards.

Show moreDear Mother + Father: It is warm + [pouing] + I have spring fever - can hardly stay awake in classes. Keats paper due tomorrow. Zo written Friday. Debate practice to-morrow and Friday. Jeannette F. in addition [aunouiises] herself for Friday, Sat., + Sunday. She will have to take care of herself. I fear. Practice last night was more hopeful than it has been. In answer to your question as to visitors. I think it the height of absurdity for Father to come all the way from Pgh. to hear me talk for 18 minutes on a subject on which I am comparatively uninformed. To answer the question you asked: - it will not make me more [n]ervous, for the simple reason that I am already nervous - generally - and [tence] when I speak I am nervous at first, even in practice. I seem to have lost my former self composure in debating. In inter-class nothing phased me. I hope I get over it in the next 2 wks - our negative team is not strong enough to stand such silliness. But as to poor old marse - I love him too much to allow him to sit thru 2 hours of boredom. I can just see the expression on his face! He would prefer a good "show". Moreover, he would dis-course forever after to me on the folly of being a highbrow, of studying "Latin, Algebra etc." [Suit] yourself, but don'tyou think it terribly foolish? Mother, by no means come, I felt guilty in keeping you away the 4 extra days up here, so please stay home now. Let me know your conclusion, Father. Remember that we will practice Sat. morning in the Barnard Theatre, and probably will be entertained by B. Sat. aft. + Sun-day. - at least, if we aren't, we should be. V. does that for visitors, anyhow. So I wouldn't be able to loaf with you. Let me know your [concbesion]. You + Marse are welcome - if you cough up 35� admission to say nothing of the [Pa.v.v] fare - but don't be foolish in your enthusiasm for little [Buuy]. <To Mother: Don't bother - will get it made at Luckey's skirts for debate, + I always have a hard hunt to find one big enough around the waist to borrow. Thea - everybody's is dirty this time of yr. We don't mind that here, but I didn't want to wear a grayish one away. So I tho't the least trouble would be to buy one + feel comfortable in one that isn't pinned around the waist. And I thought also the most satisfactory would be to have Miss [Willowbrand wake] it - she has my measurements - the last skirt she made still fits - If you [tha't] it unwise < > turn up the him, I could have that done [heree]><at an alteration shop in one day. She could make a white flannel pleated skirt - spring model - I don't suppose there is much of a change in the style from last yr. IF you think this is impractical, I'll try to buy one here, but I imagine it will be hard to get 1 ready - made so early in the spring + I hardly have the time to hunt. Wire me immediately if you don't think having it made at home would work, + I'll try then to get it here. (12 inches from ground - I'll send a white skirt in my laundry that could be used as waist + length guide). Pleated I guess is best, unless they aren't being used anymore. It would have to be here by Thursday A.M. at the latest if not hemmed - otherwise P.M. We leave Friday. Remember she always makes them with 1 fitting + usually they don't mean much change. R.S.V.P. by wire if I should try around here.> Thanks, Father, for your arguments. We are using them, but one can't talk 21 minutes on moral obligation. We need facts on their incompetence + there seems to be a scarcity of dope on that. My speech is to be on ec. dangers + incompetence. (That from my "ickle" brain!) What do you think the danger to the Ph. from Japan under absolute independence would be? The 4 - powers treaty would protect them from being grabbed, but not from Ec. ag-gression. On the other hand, they aren't protected from the latter now. I don't know - do you. As a business man of sound judgment, we would like your opinion. We hesitate to intrude upon your time, but we do so because we realize how splendid is your attitude toward college women - Haha! Please let me know - seriously. I am writing this while having my hair dried - I had to take time off for a shampoo. I have this awe-inspiring con-ference with Miss Ellery to talk over my makeup for tonight. I tremble at a class of one - intellectually-minded or not! What date is J [Einstein's] wedding? I lost the clipping which I carefully [join] aside. R.S.V.P. The bank check have come, also blue dress. I am taking the medicine without belladonna, successfully - thank goodness. <Which> remeinds me please put in a cork in the next laundry that will fit the woods drug-store bottle (you have 1 too). I want to be able to take it away with me, _ the dropper cork is very loose. That will save time for me. Let me know if you have done so soon. Love Fannie
