A Letter Written on Jan 8, 1956

Mount Holyoke College
South Hadley, Massachusetts

Sunday

Dear Mom & Dad,

Sunday evening & I had a minute so thought I would drop you a line. Everything's going fine - the ec paper is all typed & my history paper was put off until next Monday. This was a saving blow as I have a Physiology Blue Book Tuesday. Nom Com has been keeping me very busy - we've been meeting at least two hours every day except Sat. & Sun. & will continue up until exam time. But it seems more interesting now that I've been putting in a little more effort.

I have signed up for ski trips the Sat. & Sun. between semesters so think I will definitely be home for that 6 days between my exams. Will probably take the bus Sun. morning [Jan 22nd], returning the 27th, probably the same way.

I couldn't find a ski cap pattern here so will wait & pick one up at home.

No package as yet - probably tomorrow or Tues. Had a card from Fred Marble - very chatty & that plus your letter really cheered me up.

Love,
Liz

P.S.
My attitude about returning was far from unique. Haven't seen a single person who's glad to be back.
