October 21, 1931 - Wednesday

I got up at twenty to six to study then was so sleepy I couldn’t study. But at that I don’t think I did so bad in the quiz. George came over after dinner ‘til 8:30 then Betty Mae and Mary Dixon and I went to “Dulcy”.

George's letter home:

Dear Mother,

I received a nice long letter from Dad today and he is not planning to go to Idaho after all. That ought to make you feel good. I wrote him a letter at Idaho too, which is not so good for my correspondence.

Weekend after this I am bringing Ann home from here with me. Stan Haberlach is coming home too; so I seized the opportunity to come. Poor Ann gets so homesick at times for her folks that this may do her some good. I will tell you later on what time we will be home and anything else, which might be necessary.

There are a whole lot of alumni from Portland here tonight and we are going to have a meeting at ten o’clock, which will let us know just what the dope is on our new Lodge. It probably won’t be any more favorable than it has even been, but at least we will all know how matters stand. That will be some comfort at least.

It has been raining like nobody’s business here all day, and my trench coat is surly proving it’s worth. I figure that the coats look just about as smart as anything you can wear too; I wear mine lots of times in place of my overcoat.

That is about all for now Mom, try to write me some letters that I won’t strain my eyes on so much; this last one was too darn long.

Love, Brother
