12th November
Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

We beat the Freshmen at basket ball yesterday. 
Of course we're pleased— but oh, if we could only beat the juniors! I'd be willing to be black and blue all over and stay in bed a week in a witch-hazel compress.

Sallie has invited me to spend the Christmas vacation with her. She lives in Worcester, Massachusetts. Wasn't it nice of her? I shall love to go. 
I've never been in a private family in my life, except at Lock Willow, and the Semples were grown-up and old and don't count. 

But the McBrides have a houseful of children (anyway two or three) and a mother and father and grandmother, and an Angora cat. 

It's a perfectly complete family! Packing your trunk and going away is more fun than staying behind. I am terribly excited at the prospect.

Seventh hour— I must run to rehearsal. I'm to be in the Thanksgiving theatricals. A prince in a tower with a velvet tunic and yellow curls. Isn't that a lark?

Yours, J. A.
