My dear Mother
You were right in your conjecture
about my piece in the last Phillipian. This winter
I expect to make a bob-sled with Thayer between
Thanksgiving and Christmas. Two letters have arrived
since I wrote to thee yesterday. For wh. I am m. o.
If I am going to Harvard I had better take some of
the examination this coming spring in which case
I had better begin to review it pretty soon. It is cold
to day and I am going to put on winter clothes very
soon if it keeps so. Phillipian comes out tomorrow
I feel well. How is father? Hope he is not sick W.W.S.
