Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
The long-distance system is Main is to have the person ring back. That is what they did last night. They got me just after dinner--they never try to find anyone in the dining-room because it is too big--and i waited a half-hour trying to get Pgh. Then, as you know, I couldn't hear at all when finally we were connected. So long-distance apparently does not pay unless it is something very urgent--from the Main Bldg, anyhow.
Father, please send a check for $200 for my endowment fund pledge. They came around to collect the other night. Send it to me and I'll turn it in.
I am enclosing a schedule. You always want one, Mother.
I mailed my special last night just before I spoke to you. I did not write Friday and Saturday because you wrote you would probably be leaving Sunday.
I would just as soon not have Lucy till my back history topics are made up, but I shall not tell her that.
Elaine Wolfe has just announced her engagement to one Louis Rose of New York.
I sent our New Haven hostess some flowers through Salfford's. I trust that was the proper thing to do.
I had a letter from Aunt Hattie announcing their intended visit, when I don't know.
I'm sorry that you cannot come, Pete. I hope there will be another inducement as strong as the Oxford debate one of these days. Perhaps it will be a Princeton debate. I have been entrusted with the delicate diplomatic mission of writing to A Kabet.
Love,
Fannie
