Worcester Mass. Oct. 2, 1902.Dear Cousin Lucy,-
I have not forgotten you. I suppose you are beginning to feel a little soft but don't let it go to[o] far. Have you had an attack of homesickness yet or has gymnastics prevented it. Have you got your suit yet.
Three of the class of '02 have gone back for post graduate course, Isaac Howe, Flora and Maud. Isaac Howe came to exchange pictures a few days before I came down here and then he didn't know what he was going to do.
I still feel a little green yet. The school work is very different. We were asked to do almost nothing, during September. Most of the work was in lectures. Mr. Russell has talked to us for an hour and a half from the platform of the main hall, and it is dreadfull [sic] tiresome, and the seats are hard before he get[s] through. Well, we would be a pair when I get my gymnasium suit. At present my lessons are English Grammer [sic], Reading, Geology, Mineralogy, Drawing, Music, Algebra, Botany, History. I spent this morning in the kindergarten, and it is interesting.
I have been home once since I came down here. Mary has been quite sick with the grippe but I suppose she is better now. I guess I have written about all the news, so I will close abruptly.
Elsie.
