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. Love, Fan-I am curious to see which proofs you will select. Kmarginiethink they are better than Breclcon's!

ProM Saturday to Wednesday afternoon with nothing from you is pretty terrible! So I'll show my appreciation by writing immediately, and answering all questions Those that you don't feel any interest in, Mr. Aaron, may be omitted without disturbing the continuity of the letter! Incidentally, I got my fist psych topic back with the comment, ^^EEceilent, both in material and organization", I have gotten ^'Excellent" in every quiz in that course but one I don't need any more unionsuits. Thanks just the same. 1 thought I wrote that Dr. F. answered to stop the treatments temporarily, and rpport in a week how I feel. The reporting seems to me to loe entirely useless and unnecessary. HOwever, it takes only a couple of minutes. It die not E case of rush or "forgetting" the spec'ials, I never forget anythiiig! I mall my letters at a different hour from la^t year, and figured that a special i/vould not gain <m time. However, I'll indMge ■ the child! I don't think, in fact, I'm.sure, that I403 davison house vassar college poughkeepsie, n. y. that I wonH be able to bother with packing until after exams, but I think that packing from Tuesday noon until Wednesday noon ought to finish up the job. Last year I did it all in a few hours in the wee steaüil hours of the night,| and three hours Tuesday morning. But this year willbe somewhat more compllated, as I shall have] to a&ul some stuff over to Main. I certainly will be able to leave by Thursday morning, firstl thing. Why not come up Wednesday--I can probablj make it all right. The dress has come—the jumper has not, I was going to send the hav^lt hemm-l ad, but decided to do it myself some time when I am v/asting time talking, with hands folded. It is not a startling success, but will be all right,and it was not expensive. Blether, I sort of thought I would like to have Miss A. (I had not thought of Miss McC, but| I imagine the latter yiou'^d be m^ - -«-esp, ö^i a Plain Suirtwaisu areöB, If 1 can^z plc^ Cite up as I want it--also a ratinee jumperiji made just like my old blue linen| one at home.

That is all I see any sense in having) made. Must you engage thetime now? We know so little about when we will be home.403 davison House vassar college poughkeepsie, n. y. Do you want to take Helen down to Hew York in the car? R. S. V. P. right away. ?/e can do it, if you ^re willing--if we go Thursday. She has a Thursday raorning exam. However, I imagine 1*11 be re .dy to leave before Thursday afternoon and so you would want tm, too. What would you think of staying here an extra half-day and going over to Mohonk? I think you would enjoy it/ Otherwise I know nothing, except that I still have topic nuoiber three to do, and miles and miles of awfully unintelligible BrowMng reading. Oh, yes. I got a note from Phyllis Harman yesterday asking me to go to Torrington,Conn, wherever that may be, to speak to the V. C. Alumnae Association, on something or other. She would tell me what when I came for instructions. I think it is about the Endowment work at college^ They asked to have a speaker sent. I should enjoy the experience if it were at any other time of the year, but I certainly cannot afford the time right now, with work due next Wednesday as the lastpossible date,and volumes of work to do before exams. Moreover, I have many and various reasons for not caring to help the young lady out. Whnevar there is anything worth while to do under Speakers' Bureau, she takes it upon herself to do it herself, and leave all the uninteresting things to other people. Last week-end she was up in Lenox with her room-mate and fell out of a buggy, and seriously damaged the beauty of her face.403 davison house vassar college poughkeepsie, n. y. So now I guess she Is seriously inconvenienced by not being able to mafee the trip herself,and I happen to k ow that she asked a good many others to do it before she asked me. In view of these things, I certainly don't care to go. Yours truly, the Sat. Love, Fannie

Text: [Addressed to Hotel Traymore] April 18, 1923 Dear Pete; and Mother and Father: There is nothing to tell you. I spent the day working and trying to get my speech into shape, and having a good old-time catch. If Bill sounded peeved, Pete, I imagine it was because he was awakened to come to the phone. They had been out till four the night before. Love, Fannie

Text: [8 Apr 1923?] Dear Pete: I tsalked[sic] it over with Evan, and we concluded that it is highly worth while for me to hear the Penn debate. I can make it without losing much time by leaving Saturday noon. I can read English plays on the train. The others are going Friday. I hate to tell you not to come, but I know you will understand and approve. Do your best to come another week-end early in May. The Heifetz concert was wonderful last night However, we did not get back till after eleven....

The Heifetz concert was wonderful last night However, we did not get back till after eleven. Consequently I slept till nine-thirty. Took Helen off for a birthday lunch--none too cheerful as she is most decidedly afflicted with the blues. The weather is heavenly, and I am grinding on my Seminar topic. When spring comes, I certainly do get the golf, tennis, and baseball call. Love, Fannie

I worked quite a while on my Ec topic today. It is very interesting. I was working in Webb's "Industrial democracy'' on wage theories. I worked on debate two hours this afternoon. I am inclined to favor the affirmative, but I ?/ant to debate negative so as to go to Smith. Pap, as a Pittsburgher, have you any dope or could you suggest any points for or against gov't ownership and control (not administration) of the coal mines? Pete, Jim Armstrong's address is "America] University, Beirut, Syria . I was sorry to hear abcut Sam. Maybe they'll lay off that näise-machine now!142 main hai_u vassar college poughkeepsie, n. y. The million dollar shoes came this afternoon, but I have not had a chance to wear them yet, so I cannot report. I had anote from Svelyn Goldenson today. She certainly has taken her shhool instruction in letter-writing to heart. It was almost a take my pen in hand" form. Mr. and Mrs, Aarcn, once upon a time you suggested going to Pinehurst for vacation, Now that I dropped a course, I will be able to stay away the whole vacation, and even longer, without difficulty, so would you care to re-consider it? I think it would be most delightful? Fnat do you think? Of course, I am perfectly willing to coiae home! Love, FannieMiss Fannie Aaron announces that she has formally and finally ceased to be a member of the class in American History. Her schedule is thus changed that she can go away week-ends on the 1:09 train - if she ever goes away. Had dinner at the Lodge last night. I am still not terribly strong. Did you ever get the Cap + Gown snapshot I sent you to N.Y.? You never acknowledged it.

Text: Dear Pete, I promised to go coasting now, so I have not time to write a letter now. Now that the strain is over, I feel all in. The history was a corker. I'll send it to you, but I want it back. I shall go to N.Y., making the customary Saturday connections. Father will meet me + come back here. So he telegraphed yesterday. Love, FannieMr. M.

I got in on time yesterday morning, took a taxi to the Grand Central, had breakfast, sent you a telegram, made the eight-forty-five, felt sleepy the whole way up--too sleepy to work--came out to college in a street-car, arrived at eleven-thirty, straightened up my room, sent you a telgram, had dinner, slept an hour and a quarter, washed my hair, and worked on my Ec clipping book till six o'clock, went off for supper with Mary Baxter, the girl with whom I wnet[sic] down Tuesday, came back and worked on the Ec book again till nine, went to bed, but discovered that the frequent arrivals of inmates of the hall made sleeping impossible till eleven. That is the history of my life. Excuse mistakes, but it is belltime. I shall be exceedingly busy this week, to put it mildly. Tell me about the various dinners, Mother. Where did you sit Saturday night? The bag was in my suitcase. Love, Fannie

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
