Dear people:

Peltons took us for a long drive up along the Hudson then we went there for lunch and after that we went to the circus and enjoyed ourselves very much. We went and sat on the seats with all the little rag-a-muffins. They are very amusing. As to the exams, we are all through, I mean, Cara and I. We are so furious we don't know what to do about the
: VCLLettersAdamsRuth1904085003
way Miss [Dalton?] has done. You heard we speak of her didn't you? She is the Latin Teacher I had the 1st semester. They said she was very partial and flunked girls if she happened to take a dislike to them but we never thought it would be as bad as this. She flunked Dora in all the work that means 4 hours work and Dora can do it just as well as any of
: VCLLettersAdamsRuth1904085004
us. Miss Dalton has hated Dora all the time and been perfectly hours all along, so Cora says, but how do you suppose she could dare flunk her? We are so mad. Cora says Dora always makes good recitations and I reviewed some with her and know she knows the stuff. Then Miss D. did the same thing to another girl. And to make it worse she let one girl through who
: VCLLettersAdamsRuth1904085005
knows absolutely nothing about it at all. And Cora says it's just as plain in class as can be. She has used a [trot] and done no work. Doesn't that seem dreadful? I didn't know you wanted all those pictures to send away. You ought to have told me, for I have given them all away. I will order another half dozen but I don't know when I can get them.

We will probably leave near Wednesday noon. So you can think of me Wednesday night as sailing past New Haven. Do you suppose you could get me a little more money? I think I have just enough but I hate to have it come quite so close. I expect we will get home Monday.
Lovingly,
Ruth

It just occurred to me that I haven't paid for my picture yet so I shall have to have some more money. If this gets to you Tuesday morning and you send some that afternoon won't it get here Wednesday morning before I go? I haven't enough to get to [Edites] one now let alone getting [Cora]
: VCLLettersAdamsRuth1904085008
because the pictures will be $4.50. It costs $4.46 to go to Edith's and I don't know quite how much it is from Providence back to New Haven.
