Thursday
Dear Mom & Dad,
Received the enclosed letter [no longer with this letter] a couple of days ago & it caused me to seriously reconsider my tentative plan to stay home this summer.
No one around here has heard of Camp Hillcroft & the library couldn't help me out - I can't even discover where the camp is located. I'll check the camp ads in the Sunday Times & I'm also writing Stek to find out something about the camp and Mr. Shanker.
I've made a few marginal notes - make any more you think of & let me know what you think.
At any rate, I could see Mr. Shanker between semesters if Stek's answer makes it sound interesting enough. I don't think she would have recommended me if there weren't something in it. Also - the group I would be working with sounds sort of like Chateaugay's Wilderness unit.
Also - if I do send references, should I include Aaron? Or perhaps even Nancy Savage?
I'll write Stek tonight & hope for a quick answer.
If you would rather have me stay home this summer, please say so.
Love,
Liz.
Also - can you return the letter, please.
In my bookcase - 2nd shelf I think - is that guide of N.Y. State Camps. Could you check this in case it is in the state?
