South Hadley, Mass.,
Nov. 24, 1907.

Dear Sister:-

I presume you would be willing to read a short letter if I should write it so here goes. Day after to-morrow! Hurrah! Can it be that there are only bef forty-eight hours before I am home? I scarcely realize it. I have been lazy all day. I woke up at five & didn't sleep very soundly after that. Our radiator made a little too much noise to be real pleasant. Down in Edith's room theirs made so much noise that they got up at 12:30 A.M and read & studied most of the rest of the night. We got up at 7:30 and Margaret had an awful time getting dressed. Everything bothered and she did not get down to breakfast so I swiped some toast & bananas so she & Olive had some breakfast after all. I fixed up my room and put some things in my suit case and went to church. The minister was indescribable. He was the leader of the services in Holyoke this week.

I read last year's Llamarada until dinner. After music (Claudia Potter played.) I took a nap and slept most of the time until 4:15. Then I made some calls. Alice, Elizabeth & I played with three of the dolls which are to be dressed for the College Settlement. After that Alice & I sat on the floor & ate college crackers with Olive's jelly on them. After supper Miss Galt read to us instead of having singing. Louise Wadhams & I have been reading aloud and now I am in Lida's room writing.

I got rash last night & went to my first basket ball team. Picked teams played - Harvard & Yale. Of course Yale won but it wasn't so bad 13 to 9. Too bad about the real game, wasn't it? All the girls that I knew that played were for Harvard so I could yell cheer for them.

In the evening the reading club held forth. Miss Woolley spoke on the "Social Question" Marion Wilder had earnestly begged the Freshmen to go so I went & was glad I did for Miss Woolley was just splendid.

Margaret is having her first fit of home sickness. She knows now how I felt when you wrote that you missed me for her aunt wrote the same thing. She has had several fits of it & is all tired out preparing for a history quiz. Florence Hight's roommate went home Thurs. to stay until to-morrow she has been blue. I am not however.

I simply have no brains so I will stop. Expect me when you see me. I have only one request. If I get there at 7:15 as I hope to, can't you eat enough dinner to last you so you can wait supper until that time? I don't think the train stops at Otter River so I guess I shall get off at Baldwinville unless your letter to-morrow night tells me to do otherwise.

I was going to write to Miss Barron but doubt if I shall now

With love to you all,
From Molly.

It is snowing. What if I can't get home!!!
