Nannie dearest -

I haven't time for much of a letter. Am very fortunate in my this semester work - only one examination and that a snap - so practically my work is all done and that woithout any extra later. When I was a freshman I took it for granted that I had to do a great deal of sitting up of nights etc but now I take it for granted that the one thing to do is to go to bed and get plenty of sleep by way of preparing for an ex. counts more than cramming.

The borowine arrived beautifully and I shall take it just as prescribed even to not treating the girls which amused me very much as Miriams poor Presbyterian little stomach has just found out the comfort of a sip of port now and then.

The idea of your worrying about and lying awake nights ! That must be the inconsistency of love - 9 for here I am sleeping all night as well and happy as a clam and you bothering about me. Nonsense. I am afraid you haven't confidence enough in the heavenly Father.

I have just been talking withP Prof. Barnes and he has just offered to write me a letter of recommendation to a friend of his Mr. head man of the Fiske teacher's agency for me to send to him whenever I need it. Miss Darrah has offered also to write a letter for my disposal. Both are great boones and favours and I am perfectly delighted. I wonder what makeds people so lovely anyway.' Have written Mrs. Myrick to come down for the evening of the promenade concert. Have been writing a paper ion Antigione and Cordelia for Profl Anderson Also one on Browning's Columbes birthday. Bothe I enjoyed very much - only wish he would.

Theodora and I are going to go up to the Myricks for a week or so as soon as college closes. She has been spending a week here while her boys are at encampment.

Haven't time to write more - don't worry - when there is a good time to I'll let you know

Lovingly Rose.
