February, no March 2, I92O. Dear Mother, Father, and Pete J I just noticed that mj'- calendar is still set for Hovember. I guess that explains my frequent inaccuracies. I am very sorry to have forgotten tele^raiDhinti yesterday. The reason is this. As I said on my postaard yesterday, I did not get out here and to bed until eleven. Incidentally, Lucy go t in ahead of us. I had four classes, lunch, and then I lay down, supposedly for a few minutes. I went to sleep and slept soundly till three o'clock. I was quite dead, and my insides felt very badly, consequently it was not time wasted. Then my Josselyn friend cam.i up to get me to go out and fool with her. The result was that I completely forgot about telegraphing to you.., I am very sorry, Baby Father. Evidently the discovery she made about me did not influence her. I went Dack to Joseelyn with her for dinner. I kept my eyes open, by^the Yi&y, to look the crowd in the dining-room over. "They did not look any better to me than the bunch here, which was very-gratifying. This girl has a fourth floor room. All the rooms of that floor in that hall are singles. I do not like it as well as mine, in spite of the fact that it is in the famous Josselyn It is quite a little larger, but the ceiling seems lower, and in half of it is an alcove shape, and there is no loft above, so I imagine it gets very hot in summer. She has decided to stay there, I thinly. Our next English recitation v/e discuss L'Aiglon. For today I labored over the hardest English assignment I have had all year, A week ago Miss Kitchel announced that a theme was due today on a comparison of any two poems of Arnold and Sv/inburne. My difficulty lay in not being able to find any tv^o with much to compare in them. I got to class, (I had finished it one minute before I got there), and found that she had forgotten about that assignment and did not expect us to have them readv. Miss Ghampy had the goodness to say this morning that Jo, Marple and I had done our work for today, but noone else had. I am glad she does not think that I h8.ve gone completely to the bed. There is a lihuge assignment for Thursday, so If I do not write much for the next letter, you will know why, Lucy asked me today about engaging a drawing-room for vacation, and I told her what I would probably do, but to keep mum about it until I knew. I ate lunch with her in Raymond. I have not seen her for ages, and I do not want her to think-that I only coni6 up to I16F wlien I riGod 1i8P* I IisÈV6 told you how most of the Jewish girls stick together, but whe.t ha-pened there caps the climax, JI dorJt know If that is what I v/ant to say, but I have not time to change it). She went over to a table where there were six other Jewish girls, and no others! By the time the meanl started there v/ere two others, such as they ?/ere. The less said on that subject the better.
My math for tomorrow took five munutesÈ I really don't know what is the matter. I just came back from the infirmary, v/here I had to wait around for quite a whileÈ The nurse got very impudent. I asked her, quite decently, to follow two of the directions Dr. F. gave me Saturday. Isav/ her start to boil, and then v/hen she had reached 212 degrees, she said that she had never had anybody dictate to her before. A mmhute later she apolosi2.ed and said that she gotsore without any radn. It is a beautiful dayÈ I shall try to get some t^omi^f^y for a walk now. My laundry came today, special at that. It is 4n a telescope that looks like one of Lester's. It is busted on the side! Love, Mr. and I.frs. I.tarcus Aaron, fo Hotel Ambassador, . Atlantic City, H. J,
