Worcester, Mass.,
October 26, 1902.Dear Lucy,-
Your letter and picture last Monday and were more than delighted with both. Your pictures are perfect and don't you dare deny this.
I think the greeness [sic] (Lamb's dictionary) is beginning to disappear but I could tell you better after Wednesday. We have platform exercises i.e. each one chooses some subject and get up on the platform and talks 4 minutes about it, althought [sic] she may be up there very much longer as Mr. Russell or some other teacher may interrupt you. I have got to give mine either Tuesday or Wednesday. We are beginning to have more work to do now but they do not give us any lessons. They merely suggest enough to last a lifetime.
I am glad you are enjoying yourself so much. I wish you a good many more Chemistry (including other lessons) successes. My curiosity leads me to ask what you take up in the Bible lessons.
Three weeks ago to-day a little girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. Fred Lamb - and a pretty one too for she looks slightly like her Aunt. And what do you suppose she hasn't got a name yet.
Several of the '02 girls are teaching in the Evening school in Gardner. Lena Piper (aren't you surprised) Emma Allen, Minnie Eva, Carrie Wyman, Clare Nichols and I think Kittie Glasheen also. Burton Kendall has gone to Boston.
There was a teacher's convention here last Friday. I went in the morning and heard a horrid lecture. I saw Misses Fairbanks Cobleigh and Allen of G.H.S. faculty. Miss Davis, as you probably know, has gone to Chicago to study botany and zoology.
Your cousin
Elsie A. Lamb.
