Feb 28, 1919 Dear Mother,
There is nothing new that I know of. I started my loaf today, also finished my sweater, ex-cept for using up oen side and making the white collar. I also type-wrote a copy of my speech for Dr. [Gerweg] + for Gdpa. Aaron. That is a peachy
machine. I had it on my lap in bed!
There was a dance last night. At last I am wise as to when to dress up. There is a dance Tuesday + Thursday, and a big one Saturday. The other nights they [air] their dark clothes. Mrs. Harker (younger) asked me to go to the horse-races tomorrow afternoon. That will break the monotony
of sitting around.
You want to know if I am still afraid of the men. Old Mr Harker asked me how my big brothers here treating me, so it doesn't look as though I am. Love, Fannie
