Dear folks,

From day to day I think it is wise and foolish to go to a psychiatrist; but most often, wise. Yet what must be done I know almost, if cannot do. I wonder how much of an expense it will be.

I'msorry, I can't write any more today. Except that Jean is very high-spiritedly preparing to go down to Amherst with the choral society; there Crow will meet her half-way. Some of the people at her work camp last summer go to Amherst. And Jolly has a very mixing type girl friend up for the holidays. And almost everybody else has left for home or New York. And I am half-way through "King Lear" which is most wonderful. We're having half-hour exams in Bio next Wednesday, and quizzes in Conduct of Language. Bio lab leaves me very near-sighted; Weston's lectures are full of drive, unfortunately he tells us all about the species or genus the day after we have finished puzzling over it. Those diatoms were gorgeous. Wonder, though, if I could spend six hours a day in a lab peering through microscopes without going blind or breaking my back. Perhaps this course will develop my lab technique so that it becomes not a chore. I'll know by April, application time. 

Love,
Doris
