Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
Hope you appreciate my new ribbon. My machine did not need oiling, Pete. It was suffering from a fall and was repaired for twenty-five cents.
I am going to try hard to answer your questions right, Pete. I can leave Poughkeepsie Saturday morning as follows:
6:50 arrive N. Y. C. 9:01
7:05 " " 9:18
8:35 " " 10:30
10:05 " " 12:05
If I came Friday as I must if I motor over with Aunt Bessie and Uncle Ike I can try to make the 2:32 with a taxi. My class is over at 2:20. People sometimes make that train and sometimes miss it after a fifth hour class. Otherwise I take the 4:13. The 2:32 gets in at 5:13, the 4:13 at 6:15. If I come back with Aunt Bessie and Uncle Ike--and that depends upon your answer to yesterdays letter--I shall not have to worry about my coming back to New York. What do you mean by "coming through" with Margaret? If you mean going from New York to Princeton with her, that would suit me perfectly, if I don't go with Aunt Bessie and Uncle Ike. Whatever I do depends upon what you have to say in the matter. Since Aunt Bessie's invitation was extended to you and Harold in a very general manner, perhaps it might include her. She emphasized the fact that they have room for seven in their car. i know plenty of people who are going to the game, but do not know on what trains they are planning to leave. I can easily make arrangements with someone about going back to New York, I should imagine. Most of them go Friday--isn't there a prom Friday night? Don't worry about getting me back to New York--I can probably meet someone.
I have read your questions over three times and tried hard to answer them. I have hopes that I did as I was requested.
Please notice how neat my letter is.
The second nine holes, the new part, were opened up yesterday, and the old nine closed off for the day, so we couldn't play tournament, and my oppenent has late afternoon classes tomorrow and the next day, so we have to defer our match till Thursday.
I have a pupil in the art of typing at the Maids' Club-house again this year, and shall start with her next week.
Our work in French Rev for the next days in on Voltaire, Diderot and Montesquieu. So far it has proved most interesting. The following week we shall take up the conditions prior to the Russian Revolution of 1905 and compare them with those prior to the French Revolution. I certainly think a lot of the course.
I finished my J topic last night and have to type it now. Personally I think it is pretty good, and I hope Miss Wylie will think so, too.
I am to be in the Fire-Drill chorus of Junior party, whatever that may mean. I don't believe I ever wrote you that they wanted to wish on me the job of typing the songs and speeches, the way they did last year. I decided last year after I had spent hour after hour on that boring stuff that I was not going to be class stenographer, merely because I had gotten typing down to a pretty good speed for my own convenience. So when they asked me to do it, I told them decently that I had done it all for Sophomore Party and would prefer something else, if they could find someone else to do the typing. I think i was right--my heart sank at the thought of those boring and incidentally nerve-racking hours.
My fur coat is in the Express Office. I have to pay $1.04 on it. Thank you for attending to it.
Love,
Fannie
As I said before, this letter is remarkably neat.
