[postmarked 1 May 1922]
Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
I forgot to say, Pete, that I sent you the debate telegram collect because I telephoned both yours and the one home from the Lodge before the debate dinner and had no money with me. Hope you don't mind.
Evan told me that Gerstenlauer told her that he had been in 24 debates since he had been in college and that fourteen of them have been intercollegiate.
Miss Ellery congratulated me today, and I asked her if she didn't think they had really won. She said, she did, very frankly, that she thought they were greatly more convincing than we were. And then she went on to say that she thought it would do Vassar good to have a men's college beat us once.
It is now 3 o'clock. I shall work till ten with a half-hour off for dinner, on writing a psych topic. Yesterday was a day gone, as far as work goes.
What is your conclusion about monkeying with the doctor after my letter of yesterday, Mother? R. S. V. P. immediately. If I do come Saturday, I guess i had better take the 8:30, since we now have daylight-saving. Love, F.
[Mother - please get the books + send in [...] laundry. Sorry I couldn't look them up till now, but I've been rushed to death. Take out cards for yourself + Father, if mine isn't enough. It's a very quick and simple process.
Over - important
Enclosed is Nellie's check]
