Dear Mom & Dad,

Have just a few minutes before dinner. Great news - I have a ride home Thanksgiving & with Eaton Gibson, of all people. He's been going out with a girl from here & she's visiting him over the vacation so he's driving over from Hamilton. I believe we won't leave here till around 4 so should be in Syracuse by 10 or soon after.

Spent last night at the O.C. cabin with a group from the dorm. Great fun - first I'd slept out since Sept. Today [all weekend, in fact] was perfectly gorgeous. Warm & sunny & clear - really indian summer.

If you're looking for ideas for Christmas this early, I'd love a copy of Edith Hamilton's Mythology. I find in Ren. lit. class that my background in mythology is not too red hot!

Time for supper.

Love,
Liz

P.S.
Will Aunt Hat be in Syracuse for Thanks?
