Dearest old Daddy
It was the 24th when I first began this epistle, but I was interrupted, and now it is Thursday the 26th. I have been just as busy as could be these few days as sister has probably informed you. My room is all filled now and looks perfectly lovely. There is a cot in it instead of a bed, and in the daytime I use it as a couch, and it looks great

perfectly dandy girl! To night sister and I are invited to dinner with Bertha Ellis. Isn’t that gaiety for you?
Every night at seven o’clock there is a chapel meeting. The day [schilars] do not have to go but when ever I have stayed for dinner at the college I have gone, and like it very much.

Your daughter Peg.
I got a fine long letter from Eloise the other day.
