I’ve been a thinking and I’ve come to two conclusions. One of them is that it’s all very well to put up a bluff and try to think you can get along without having your two onlyest on to your graduation -- but it won’t work! And I want you to come. Then my next conclusion is that if you don’t come you’ll be missing a lot, and you will realize it, and you will be just as unhappy as can be -- you have never
even seen Vassar, dad, the place where I’ve had so many good times, and I want you to meet all the girls, -- there are others just as nice as Ruth whom you are so fond of -- , and all their fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers and aunts and uncles.
What has brought these gradually come to conclusions to a climax is the facts brought to light in my search for a room for Mrs Snow. Everything is en-
gaged and it was by a very lucky accident that I found two rooms at my laundresses. On the hope that you or sis might come I asked her to hold both for me for a week. Now I may be able to get a better room (which Cerene engaged long ago but won’t use after all) for Mrs Snow. The two rooms remain for you and May Louise. They are the very last. If I don’t let her know next Saturday that you will take them, she will give them to someone else immediately. Now do decide to come. You know you want to, and I want you to, the trip is easy and I know you’d enjoy it immensely after you once got started, and you would see Vassar! Let me know at once, by Saturday night at the very latest. Remember me to the Kiefers
