A Letter written on Oct 27, 1941

Rev. Dr. William M. Nesbit

Naugatuck, Connecticut

Dear little Girl:

Rec'd your welcome Special and Papa sent to-night a check to Childs so they will probably get it to-morrow afternoon. They are certainly - a gentleman's firm. We were sorry to hear about the perfume - but we think you were lucky - to have so little taken in the time you have been at College - but you will have to be on the look-out - and be kind of careful about your pins etc.

Papa and I were delighted with your B. in History.

I am enclosing a check for $5.00 Papa says that will pay for the Lab fees - or rather for the Soci-trip - and $1.00 to replace the bottle of perfumery - that was "swiped" - and a little bit over - so that you won't be quite "destitute". Glad the "date" was O.K. Will close now in haste.

Love from the bunch.
Mamma.

P.S. Papa has written to the N.Y. Edu. Society.

Oct. 27, 1941.
