Dear Mother, Father, and Pete:
I finished my Tolerance topic last night. It was on the stage controversies from 1642 to 1737, and gave me some very interesting background for drama, only I am afraid that it was slightly more of a drama topic than a history topic. However, a little thing like that wouldn't bother Miss Brown. I waded through the indices of about seventy-five volumes of the Royal Commission Reports on Historical Manuscripts, and I think the history department ought to tip me for dusting them. I am quite sure they haven't been touched for many years!
It poured all last evening, so there was no Third Hall. After all those rehearsals and the inifinite[sic] amount of work put on it, it is a shame. And the majority of people had week-end guests. It won't be given at all until Commencement time.
I am beginning to see light now. Unless Miss Brown springs an exam in the form of a "prepare in advance" topic--and I hope she won't--all I have to do now, beside a little class work--is to write three drama papers and my seminar encyclopedia. I say that as though it isn't much, but it can at least be done in two and a half weeks.
Love,
Fannie
