[typed] delighted with the Thanksgiving day treat you have promised me - you
don't know what an added zest it gives to the football practice every
afternoon at 4:30. Out of the money you said you were going to send I
think I can save enough for a Stanford photograph or two. With the
birthday money, I am going to either get Mama's picture framed or get
me a little Stanford pin (1.25) so you see I am as happy as a king with
the dear pleasure my Nannie has promised. me. All the girls have been
laughing and talking at such a rate that it has been most difficult to
write down the words I wa nt to use and there are such millions of
things that come flitting through my head to talk about.

Phil Abbott called last evening but it was rather of a bore, The
girls all josh me as being the only person that can"jolly up" with Dr.
Jordan - it. seems too easy for anything to have the wittiest kind of
talks with him and he has done me the great honor of showing off my room
to his distinguished guests. Gertrude made me a flying little visit
a couple of weeks ago and was too lovely for anything - she told me about
your letter to her and you know I am sure what a heartfull of gratitude
I have. Kittie and I are hoping to get schools together though she is
constantly talking about taking me home with her in Pennsylvania, as
is also Miss Snow who plans to go to her home at Christmas, too. I
must write to Trude and Lolie so

Bye bye
Rose

I promise a better letter soon - before next Sunday
