Dear Family:-
It is so hot today that we feel as if it must be June instead of September were it not for the fact that two freshmen have just been in our room and [unreadable] by “calling” on us.
Friday night two of the B.M.C. delegates to Silver Bay last summer - Miss Allen and Miss Emerson - came to visit, and Cora Edgcomb had a party for them over in her room, and asked me. We had lots of fun and made an awful racket, and even went so far as to dance a Virginia Reel in J! Saturday afternoon we had the Christian’s Reception

Then last night, Margaret and Rose had a “party” consisting of Lilias and I where we had olive sandwiches and lemonade!!
Today we had the Episcopal service and it was the first time I had sung it in the choir. Today I took dinner over in Main with a Senior, and after dinner we played for a little while with the Bryn Mawr girls.
Work is really [fixed] and I had my lab hours for the first time on Thursday, and had a

fine time sticking glowing splinters down test tubes, and heating sulphur, and trying to remember which was the hot flame in the Bunsen Burner!
I am hoping they are going to have Sunday Evening Music to night, but I’m not sure.
Betty Holden was just here, and says to give her love to my nice family. Mark came up to see her on Friday, and I saw him for just a minute. He goes to Cuba in December, and I told him to be sure to stop off (?) in Phila. [Philadelphia] before he went. I’ve asked Bob to come next Saturday, and come early in the afternoon as there is a Students’ Meeting - the first one - in the evening. Some of the other girls are going to have
