Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
The Williams team was picked last night:--Cleveland(Freshman), Aaron, Bishop. Evan asked me if I minded very much giving Bish third speech this time. She said I deserved it by merit, but she thought as long as Bish had improved so, etc. She thought it would be a nice reward. Of course I could say nothing, but be very willing etc. I don't care so very much, except that debating to Vassar I would like to have a chance to shine my brightest! But I think that can be done in second speech as well as third, almost.
There was a mixup about choosing the third speaker which occupied considerable time, but it is final now.
Did you ever do anything about the hat, Mother. R. S. V. P.
I spent the whole morning on debate--once again.
I have a compliment for you, Father and Pete. Bish asked me if my family were coming for this debate. She then told me how very much she liked you both. She says her father will be tremendously amused to hear that she is debating for prohibition.
I may go with the others Friday instead of Saturday. I have concluded one is only young once,
so "to h---" with topics! I shall stay, together with three others, at the home of Frances Oakford, '26, debate committee and head of the delegation. That does not mean that you should skip writing to me here, however.
Love,
Fannie
