October 31, 1947

Dear folks,

Came in to find May with a pillow on her knee, "I feel like a ballet dancer doing the swan's death song." It's out of hinge. We brought her blueberry muffins and scrambled egg and she breakfasted like a queen.

Well, Jean and I both woke up this morning and didn't get up; the job now is to relax and wait:  we both have exams this morning.

We have jointly ordered the Harvard Crimson.  I hang my head in shame when I read the News now.  Those boys are reporting the things they are interested in vitally and we---an apathetic Student Government--incidently [[sic]], I am a member of that now by lot, and wrote up a story to blow up its last meeting, which was in my mind a flop but out of which was dragged by valiant president Sue Ehrenthiel the recommendation that N S A be adopted--I'll explain about that later--, an apathetic commuters' column, well, we are just mis-directed, I guess.

Life is too full to report fully right now.  Must gallop--rain--to English in a second.  Don't believe Dick is either of the two vile races you mentioned, tho I do think race can be a bogy-man at times.  As a matter of fact, he is too good for me.  Marion will be up against conditions as bad as Ina's, I guess.

Maybe will write later.  Go.

Love, 

Doris
