40 Porter Hall
South Hadley, Mass.,
October 14, 1906.My dear Carrie:
No doubt you will be delighted to get the enclosed stamps in payment for your share in Kent. The payment came to exactly fifty cents a piece, and you will find twenty-four stamps. I was at a loss to know how to send it, and hope you won't mind having stamps. That seemed the most economical way as well as the most convenient.
Everything is now in running order. I feel as though I had been here forever.
The social life is just beginning to include anybody except Freshmen and Seniors. Tuesday night is the first meeting of the Social Club. As we meet for the first time under our new Italian name, we are all requested to dress a la Italian. You know what a lot of work that means.
The Junior-Freshman Reception is to take place on November the seventh, I believe. It is to take the usual form of a farce, dancing and refreshments.
The night before comes the French play, Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. I am to have a very minor part, that of "laquais" - one of the pleasures (?) of belongong to the French Club.
Mountain Day comes Tuesday, if the weather is pleasant. Otherwise Wednesday will be taken with Thursday for our holiday.
Sometime this week, either Tuesday or Wednesday night, the Porter Juniors are to take the Freshmen of this house on a two hour straw ride.
I don't seem to be able to think of any special college news. The girls are all the same as usual, enjoying life.
Mountain Day, Elsie Simonds, Claudia Potter and some others including myself are planning to go either to Old Hadley or Old Deerfield. We have decided positively.
Will you please send me word, if you get these stamps O. K. I shall be anxious to know.
I must stop now, and write to Ruth Meserve before dinner.
Lovingly,
Angie C. Heartz.
