Dear Mother,
I recieved your letter this morning and it rather disturbed me. Really I didn't mean to seem unappreciative of anything you've done for me, because I am, and I was so glad and so thankful for everything you've sent to me. I certainly hope you don't think I realize all that you have done for be, because I do and it worries me that you have really done much more for me than you have for Bobbie and Margie. I feel very badly that you felt that I didn't realize or appreciate all the trouble you went to for me, and I didn't realize that you worried so much about the things you sent me. I'm awfully sorry and I shall be more thoughtful in the future.
Mary Ellen told me about your operation as her mother had written her. She said that it wasn't a very major operation and that there wasn't too much pain attached to it. That relieved me a little, but I know that it must be painful and I hope

that you get well soon; but I would also like for you to be able to stay in bed for a long while, because I know that when you get up you will try and do too much. Please don't.
They had the elections today and I didn't get it; but then I never thought I would. I didn't even come very near it I'm afraid. I'm a little relieved though, because really I have more than enough to do now.
There really hasn't anything happened, except that today I had my first chemistry lab. and I wasn't two successful. We had to make things out of glass tubes and my flame was uneven so no matter how hard I tried, I always got bumps in my glass, so I shall have to do it over again at next lab.
I'll write soon about the week-end.
All my love, Mary -
