Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

One of the unfortunate parts of writing a long letter is the consequent dearth of subject-matter the next day.

I loafed all day yesterday--as a reaction to the exam rush. Took a long walk in the afternoon, read the paper, went to dark-music after supper, and loafed the rest of the evening. I started to read "Heredity and Environment"--the supplement to your Bible, Pete-- and got so interested that I read later than I should have. It might be just as well to let that go until after the exam, though. I found that it was messing up the limited knowledge that I had acquired in the course of our lectures.

I am going to town this afternoon to attend to some things that can't be put off any longer, among others a shampoo and having a button put on my fur coat which came off the other day. I cut off about five inches of my hair last night. Perhaps it will be more manageable now.

Love,

Fannie

Pete, be sure to answer P. D. Q. about the biology text-book.
