Dear Mother and Daddy,
Well the big weekend is over and I will certainly have to settle down and study next week. I'm afraid that I haven't been doing all I should, but I would certainly like to have twice the time to do my work in.
The weekend really turned out quite successfully. I went to San Francisco for the first time. As I probably told you before. Sally Sutch and I were going up to a South Sea's party at the A.K.K. house (it is a medical fraternity). We left about 6:30 and had dinner on the way. Five couples had dinner together and

it was lots of fun. We got up there about 10:00, rather later than we had expected. The party was a lot of fun and rather different from anything I had ever been to before. Sally and I spent the night at Marilyn Dey's house rather than come back that night. This morning we had breakfast with Ann Warner's family. I don't know whether you ever heard of her or not but she was a very close friend of Sally's and she and her family were in San Fransisco seeing her brother off to Harvard. We took the train back to Stanford. We really felt quite grown up about the whole adventure.
The boy, Jim Kessler,

that you wrote me about arrived. He called last Friday afternoon and I talked to him for quite a while. He spoke to me of a teacher who was supposed to be very good and who was the same one that Marilyn's sister-in-law recommended to me. He seemed very nice and he played the piano for me. I went out to dinner with him tonight.
I will certainly beglad to see mother and Margie , but I wish that Daddy could come soon. I can't wait to seen all of you.
Love to all, Mary
