Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:

The most exciting thing I can announce is that I had my hiar[sic] washed yesterday, slept the rest of the afternoon, and am going to have my Vassarion picture taken tomorrow.

I hope to catch up within the next few days--this crazy debate put me back two history topics.

I received the shoes.

I had you no more mixed up about going to New Haven than I had myself. I made up my mind, and unmade it at least twenty times, and I did not decide to go until twelve, and we left at two. The thing that made me make up my mind was the inducement of the auto-trip, plus the company of the acting president. And now all the excitement of that is over. I'd like to knock their English blocks off--they don't know what is meant by a definite engagement.

I have been trying to sleep this past hour, but the presence of about twenty flies is making it impossible, screens notwithstanding.

Love, Fannie
Just when is Lucy coming, and when you leave, where are you going first?
