Dearest Dad,
Only nine more days and I will be all finished for this year. I have had one exam already; took it yesterday. Today I have one of my French exams. My hardest exams come, one, this Thursday, and one next. I don't have anything Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of next week.
I was wondering whether you are coming up after me a week from this Saturday or are you going to send me a pass? Don't wait until the last minute to let me know please.
What are we going to do about rooms? Have you tried to get any yet? I will be ready to start housekeeping as soon as I get home if you have found the rooms.
If you have seen Florence, you know all about our trip to New York. We had a very good time. Of course, Bea was glad to see us, only she was afraid she would be lonesome after we started back. There were millions of cars on the road, it seemed, but we didn't have even the slightest mishap.
At present writing, I have just sixty-five cents, which won't last me until I get home, I am afraid. Write and tell me the plans, or have Lena write for you, and send me a couple dollars at the same time.
Have you paid the dentist? Or, have you paid for my Oxfords yet? That's got to be done next, you know; and then Dr. Mullens must be paid.
Well, I must close now and get ready for school. Please write and answer my questions.
Love,
Olive
