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
