Tuesday noonDear mother:-
Thank you just heaps and loads for your picture. It is simply wonderful. I think its [sic] the best photograph I've ever seen & so do Holy and Elma. Holy says it looks just as if you were going to speak to us. I'm going to have it framed right off.
I suppose Charlie told you all about our eventful jaunt. Anyhow we had a good time in the main even if Amherst did get walked over.
I had a fine letter from Stuart the other day. I sent him some canday [sic] yesterday. Elma told me today Harold has taken off his cast & is only wearing bandages when the Dr. told him to keep on the cast and when he took it off to wear some stud & batten contraption - you'd better write & blow him up sky high.
I've invited Mina Thomas Buchannan over to a supper party Friday (in return for her having Charlie & I over, also she told me she'd like to come over here) and I wonder if you could send me some celery, a can of tuna, if you have one to spare or else I can get one here, enough coffee for 6 and lump sugar if you have it. If you have any of that mayonnaise around I wouldn't refuse it but on the other hand dont [sic] make any for I can get it just as well. If you have a pie you dont [sic] want I think we could make off with it. If you send the stuff Thursday noon I will get it all right by Fri. night. If you see my woolen gloves around just stick them in please -
Its [sic] time to go to lab now, have a big botany quiz tomorrow -
Love,
Ruth.
