Letters to Home, Part 2

I missed one when I gathered the letters to home so this one actually comes before part 1.


Morningside, Ia.
Sept-14-16

Dear folks,

Rec'd your letter today. Glad to hear from you. Perhaps I may change my rooming place over to Meyer's. Cleo Star of Spencer wants me to room there and two other girls will take this room.

Altwood and Fissel and Miss Pinkham are too good for this chicken. I should worry! I am getting along just splendid. Sunshine Inn is a dandy place I have to pay over $5 today to start the club. The club is all one just like the C.K.C. Everyone is so sociable & nice. I like it just fine so far. Getting acquainted with so many. Got nocked down to so many. But Oh the names. Met a Norwegian today. Ruth J. comes around quite often. Was to Y. W. Halls last eve to a reception. Had watermelon. Will be around next wanting us to join I suppose. Have fine meals at the inn.

I wish I had my new fall hat. Most all of the girls have theirs. And suit. Miss Pinkham is going to get a $65 suit.

Was to Chapel this morn. The boys try to sell the Freshie's Chapel seats 10 cts. I didn't bite. Looks suspicious. I have been running around with a girl from Spencer who is working her way through. She is real nice. Going to hunt work this eve after supper. I got one book $1.25 new kind. I haven't taken any pictures as yet. Just getting acquainted.

Say I have no mirror. Most of the girls have hand mirrors. Bring my bloomers. Have to take Physical training. Bring my book "The Shephard of the Hills." Next time you write send a few Blessings I might be asked. So I could. Don't forget.

Tell Una I will not be home until week from Sat if all is O.K.

I am gong to write Ellen tonight I think.

Perhaps I may go to see Daisy Sun. As I can't leave very well before then. Maybe go to see Mrs. Van Dyke. It is 8:15 just finished writing a theme. I don't think by what I hear I will change rooming places. I don't know for sure.

I paid the $5 at the Inn tonight. I just have $6 left of course the check.

How is poor duckie?And all the rest at home.

With love, Ellen

You will not need to bring the book.
