Stanford Student Letters and Memoirs

[written] Oct 4 '97 37

[typed] delighted with the Thanksgiving day treat you have promised me - you don't know what an added zest it gives to the football practice every afternoon at 4:30. Out of the money you said you were going to send I think I can save enough for a Stanford photograph or two. With the birthday money, I am going to either get Mama's picture framed or get me a little Stanford pin (1.25) so you see I am as happy as a king with the dear pleasure my Nannie has promised. me. All the girls have been laughing and talking at such a rate that it has been most difficult to write down the words I wa nt to use and there are such millions of things that come flitting through my head to talk about.

Phil Abbott called last evening but it was rather of a bore, The girls all josh me as being the only person that can"jolly up" with Dr. Jordan - it. seems too easy for anything to have the wittiest kind of talks with him and he has done me the great honor of showing off my room to his distinguished guests. Gertrude made me a flying little visit a couple of weeks ago and was too lovely for anything - she told me about your letter to her and you know I am sure what a heartfull of gratitude I have. Kittie and I are hoping to get schools together though she is constantly talking about taking me home with her in Pennsylvania, as is also Miss Snow who plans to go to her home at Christmas, too. I must write to Trude and Lolie so

Bye bye Rose

I promise a better letter soon - before next Sunday
