Dearest May Louise
The suit came yesterday and it suits me to a T! I love the color of it and the jacket fits me to perfection all the girls and Miss Badgely say, except for needing the padding you suggested in front. Miss B said she didn’t want to try doing anything to it herself, so I’ll ask Miss Mann if she knows of anyone who could fix the sleeves for me. Miss B is fixing the skirt for me and I know she’ll do it well. The hat is awfully
becoming and ever so cute. I likes it! And you are an angel to have sent them to me. The long coat makes me look beautifully tall and imposing -- as a senior should.
Friday noon Miss Mann invited me to lunch with her at Smith’s and at night the Choral Club Concert came off and was unusually good, people say, -- we certainly sang beautiful things, and I love so to sing in chorus, and to sing contralto too for you get to understand harmony so much better than you do in soprano parts.
The debate I’m to be in comes off on Wednesday, and heaven be praised then I won’t be so rushed. I haven’t felt so very well anyway lately and my mind is almost gone. Miss Wilkinson, Kath’s cousin asked Fanny and Betty and me down to four o’clock tea this afternoon, but somehow a kimono and a couch are far greater attractions to me at the present moment.
How exciting about Lois Pratt! And I hear Dora Landers has smallpox. My other photographs came at last yesterday, and I am sending you one. Mrs Rushmore, Elsie’s aunt, sent me an awfully cunning Valentine -- a little memorandum affair with red poppies on it to match the red [blootes] on my desk. I must write to her -- though I don’t want to. Oh yes I do too, for it was dear of her to think of me. Tell dad my semester bill is $108.10. I’m not going to send it to him for he might forget to send it back.
Lots and lots of love to you both
Peg.
