Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
I am sorry that I could not write to you to Philadelphia, but I would have had nothing to say anyhow. I had to burn the midnight oil last night. I did not do it out of desire, but there was some work for today that simply had to be turned. So I worked till eleven-thirty. That sort of thing does not hurt particularly, unless you acquire the habit, and I don't expect to acquire the habit.
I have debate tryouts tonight again. I shall have to work all afternoon on my speech, as I was given a new stand, and I don't happen to have much definite knowlege or statistics on it.
Nothing particularly exciting happened in classes tonight.
The package from Atlantic came in the same mail as your letter, Mother. Thank you very much for it.
The enclosed snap-shot was taken, not to show off my new sweater, but because it was such a glorious day, because I was out with Helen, and because she happened to have her camera with her. It was the day after the big snow-storm, when the trees were so beautiful. Please send it to Pete. I will send you another one, if you want it--if you think this one is any good. I think that it is very good for a snapshot.
Love,
Fannie
