Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
Spent most of yesterday on my Sem. Topic, but didn't advance very speedily. I have written thirty pages. I guess it will be about one hundred when I finish.
Was interrupted several times by the appearance at my window of Helen and Dick, but I was just as glad to get away from the typewriter for a little while, Richard rented Charlie's (Lodge head-waiter) auto for the day, so we got an exciting ride to town and back before lunch!

day. He announced at the conclusion of his sermon thtat there would be a communion service, and I feared I had gotten into the wrong place, but then he relieved me by announcing that the college would march out, as usual, and those who cared to would reassemble!
Love,

I wrote Louise a stupid letter today. I feared she would not consider my formal "regrets" enough.
