[Mar 20, 1913]

Dear Mother -
    This is just a hasty note written before breakfast - have been up studying since 5:30! Miss Chittendon definitely asked me yesterday to go to N.Y. Mar 30th to play at a reception and I told her I couldn’t as I was going west.
    Do you remember Alfreda Mosscrop? She has invited me to go home with her over the vacation - she lives in Rochester. I told her I knew the I couldn’t come for the entire vacation,

But that I would write and see if I could come part of the time, toward the end.
    Let’s see - what else did I want to tell you? oh - yes. I mean, no - I haven't any money - I don’t think I can come on the party ticket this time either because I’m coming Thursday night instead of Friday with the rest. i.e. probably? haven’t heard definitely from the office yet.
    Florence is going to

Bermuda with her family for the vacation.
    I’m terribly busy - have five classes today and two writtens. Am enclosing the reproofs from my physical exams. 1st from at beginning and end of Freshman year, 2nd two at beginning of this year and now. 
    Hastily
    Muriel.

P.S.
Could you answer this so that I hear from you on Monday - Please? And please tell me how you’re feeling.
