Dear Mama & Papa,
I have just finished the 1st class of the 2nd semester. It was mythology. The teacher, Miss Brotherton, is just a scream. By the way, if you have any good books on Greek mythology but not too detailed, I could use them. I think I shall enjoy the course very much if it is all like today.
I haven't heard anything about the English Lit yet so I don't know whether I passed or not. Sally and everyone are back. It is quite a lot warmer here today. I did something stupid in signing in. I don't know whether I'll be fined or not. Wish me luck because I don't exactly feel like donating any money to the college.
Kiss Brownie and Andie for me.
Lotions of love,
BessieP.S.
Would you please send Mrs. Hudson's present if I forgot to do it.
