Friday Feb 5?

Dear family, I've heard the result for Law School acceptances are out (at least from Stanford), What happened with Steve? I sure hope he got in.

Well I suppose you have heard about the tragedy in Rome ^(12)? Lee Irish the son of Prof. (of religion) Irish & wife died suddenly of a rare case of meningitis. The last time this happened in Mex. I learned something - I guess that it happens. The Irishes are tremendous people - also have a son Jeff (10?). Its hard for them but they are very strong people.

We were told by Stanford to cut our stay in Italy short and to come back here to the Burg. A lot of people have colds & or flus (Also many had before Rome). Many are psychological I'm sure. Anyway vacationing is exhausting and they want us to rest and be together for a few days. The type of menengitis is a very rare one and does not, luckily, go in groups. It is a type of bacteria everyone or many people have and what happens is it gets someplace accessible to the spine - like I said it is very rare and not contagious. I have and do feel very healthy. I hope you haven't heard exagerated stories of a plague or something. All is OK.

I'm sending Betty a postcard about Rome. You will hear I really loved it. Especially the ice cream and, expresso believe it or not. It tasted better than I've ever had.

I got your 2 letters and 2 boxes of candy. Why the box marked "for Krauter family"? I don't understand. Anway thanks very much again for all the communication & candy. It was great arriving to a full mailbox. Also tremendous candy.

Tell me more about Patty. How did the biopsy go? The office situation sounds nicht so gut. I hope all turns out alright.

I think Dad's idea of a red cake per person sounds pretty reasonable. Jeez Louise. That's kind of gross. Congrats to Joe & Dad on wt. What about you Mom? Kung! I shouldn't talk. Did Jim Lange accept or not? I sure wish I could have been be there.

I had Spaghetti Vongole in Rome that was very good. I also had sweetbreads which were very yummy. I can't wait until Paris you guys should come here especially w/ Mecias as guides. Its great Also weather is Rome was beautiful. Sun felt great. Its the same cloudy wet type weather here in Beutelsbach.

I'm sorry about Steve Clark. Is he working now?

Jim Downs wrote me a letter. That was a pleasant surprise. Also Mary wrote me the comments on my paper. Not so good. Oh, well. I got my A. I'm having trouble motivating myself for the Directed Reading class. Hope I get things done. Will read next few days.

Looking over this letter I kind of treated Lee's death lightly. But what can I say. I really like the Irishes and I am very sorry it happened. Its very hard to say or think anything new about something like this. Its all been said and doesnt mean very much.

Thank you very much again for the Valentine's gift. Oh what about Sue Sanchez's address here? Should I send you my pictures? developed or undeveloped? I think its a good idea.

Much love, Anne.
