"what I shall expect of my room-mate." Even I ought to pass but whether I would or not is always another question

The "French Revolution" is fast assuming a prodigious shape. There is a vast amount of reading to be done in it but it is very interesting. Saw Mrs. Wilson today She was sorry not to have seen you but well understood how you were hurried. Caught an sent down to Rose a most dowdy hat - just the kind she always makes to order. I ought to have remembered my trials with her. But tomorrow Marguerite is coming down to stay all night - then Rose is going back with her Saturday to be filled and return the hat. I think I am going to like mine very much. It is plain and therefore what I like. I succeeded in getting all your P.P.C.'s off by Monday, so that is all attended to.

Rose exchanging her hat for one that I like much better. It is a flat crowned & flat [rimmed?] hat with cock feathers black & white egrette - & black and white ribbon in it. Rose says her waist is to be a beauty, Kate Staples

Rose did not hear him, as she with Alice Hays walked over to Palo Alto to hear Mr. Peete.

We are quite well established and enjoy our work much.

Mrs. Myrick patronized us last week much to our disgust.

I am going to drive with Bessie Braley tomorrow afternoon. She is such a charming girl. We called on Mrs. Anderson last evening. She hopes to see you when you come down, and I hope to know her better.

Am writing by candle light as the electric lights are out.

Won't you run down on our ticket for a day soon? Love from your girls - Theodora.

us such an inspiring sermon-lecture this morning in the chapel on "Faith" - ending his beautiful discourse with that poem of Tennysons' that Mama loved so well -
