Dear Mama & Papa,

Hello! Greetings and salutations! I was so glad to hear that you reached home safely. How are you two after the strain?

I have been in a sort of jittery mood all week. I couldn't seem to concentrate. I would read over a page and not get the meaning & have to stop & read it over again. Today I cut two classes & gym & have studied continuously since nine o'clock. Tues. night I invited Doris Huntington to dinner & we had some fun.

I see by the Registrar's office my average hasn't gone down & I think they raised my promise from medium to high. Do you remember what they wrote on the last one?

I have my religion blue book at twelve to morrow. Please wish me luck.

It snowed some more last night here but melted this morning.

Sally is very excited about going to West Point this week end. Her mother just sent her some more new clothes. I am glad my mother doesn't pick out my clothes for me.

Lotions of love,
Bessie

P.S.
Whenever the financial situation improves, I could use a little money.

I have invited Stelle to dinner for to morrow night.
