My dear old Sned:

I enclose you cheque for June. We got a
fine long letter from you Sat, in which you felt
confident as to the outcome of your exams. I dont
expect to hear from you again until next week
as you will be boning on your exams until June 1st
and wont have time. We are praying for you
at this end of the line.

We dont know where to address Dick, as
we have understood that he would be through
at Columbia about now. I hope he will let
us know as there are letters from the Treasury
Dept and from Mr Bank for him.

Jos is entering his fourth week of vacation
and is still at Brookdale. Mother and I were
to have visited them there but the girls are having
houseparties and there is no room. I feel
a little hurt about it, though I have no right to
be as the house belong[s] to the L's, and not to
Jos. Mrs. Kilpatrick has been there for a week
and got back (on her way back to Vallejo) last evening.
She telephoned to say that Jos hoped to come back
to Alameda this week so that he could see
something of Mother and me, before going back
to Marysville, but I doubt if Martha will want to
leave until the last minute.

Mother has been feeling better the last few days
and thinks the warm weather is good for her. Yesterday
Jack John Ella Mother & I went to Redwood Canyon
