Dear Mother,

I’m in a hurry now. I’ve got to go up and get tutored
pretty quick.
I’m coming home by bus if it’s cold like the present but
may try bumming if it warms up. Tuesday morning is
my last test which is Math. If I get done in time I may
catch 12:00 bus for Pittsburg, if not I’ll have to take
5:00 one. That is if I don’t bum.
Hoping to see you Tuesday evening or Wednesday,
I remain,
Your loving son,
Gordon

PS. I’m going to register Monday. Will take Greek
History in Chem place.

Dear Mother,

I got that ticket refunded and received 65 cents. A ticket
from Chambersburg to G-burg cost 75 cents.
I had lots of company on the bus after I got to
Pittsburgh.
I’ve been over to the fraternity. Most of the fellows
were back.
Swope came to my room about nine and we went up to
the Delecto and had something to eat.
Schartz, the fellow at whose home I stayed hasn’t come
yet. He’ll be absent for a while. He has developed a
group of boils around his infected elbow, I heard.
Red hasn’t showed up yet and it’s eleven-fifteen now.
I don’t know where he is.
(over)
I left my pair of brown pants at home. They need a
button sewed on them anyhow. Please send them with
next laundry.
I’m pretty sleepy, I must be off ---

Love,
Gordon
