Dear Dad, -

Typed transcription of page 1 of letter ………………………………...
Thanks so much for the “gift” which Jean delivered safely. You are an old daer, so there!
Work seems so much lighter this semester that I find lots more time to play, and I am enjoying it, I can tell you. Do you know -- just 4 weeks from today I’ll be home! I am just cheering even though it is quite a while off; let’s hope it flies.
As I never have a real birthday in college, I am going to have an arbitrary one this next weekend; and have a Baby Party.

Half of us will be girls, and half boys, and I will have to ask some people [outside] the table to be ‘Mamma and Nurse.’ I think it will be quite fun.
I have to go out to supper, and change my dress before I go, so I must stop. I suppose all kinds of exciting things are poking their noses up through the earth now, aren’t they?
Thanks again for the nice surprise, and here’s a let of love.
As Ever
Marjorie
