Dear Pa—

The postal card has arrived announcing my third C; which makes me a full Junior next year. Any anxiety you may have had may now be put away. You will receive official notice of my 2 marks soon. The result will be 4 C's and 2 D's, a pretty good year's work considering my inexperience at the beginning of the year.

French has gone to Washington where he is studying night and day trying to get into Harvard. If he will do the work I assign him, he'll get in all right.

I went to a colored pic- 3 nic at Baltimore the other day. I not only had a fine time, but acquired some useful information and met some excellent people. I have an idea that travel will do considerable towards helping me decide about my future career. The trip, though it consumed my $5.00, was cheap at the price. It was worth $25.00.

You might slip a coup- 4 le of dollars in the letter when you write, as I am anticipating another trip to Baltimore soon. I might as well see it while I'm down here.

The folks are now back from Hampton where they had a most enjoyable stay. Dot has got along right well in their absence.

Yours affectionately, Ned

P.S. Folks all send regards
