Dear Mom,
I was extremely glad to hear from you, but I am very sorry to hear that you were unwell
again. I hope that your illness clears up permanently. I am ashamed of my lack of letter writing;
it is inexcusable.
I have been to see Porgy and Bess and The Gypsy Baron by Johanna Strauss. Porgy was
wonderful especially the male singers, including Tod Duncan. Irra Petina was in the Gypsy
Baron, and was quite wonderful; the completely eclipsed the other members of the cast.
I went through hell week, and had extremely sore and black and blue buttocks for awhile.
I didn't have fifty four dollars on hand, so I couldn't go through with formal intention.
Tell Flintridge that it is very doubtful that I will be down for graduation. It is possible,
but improbable. I should like graduating very much, but it give me too little time for working,
I'm afraid.
I shall be happy to see my family again. All the kids much have grown tremendously.
Love,
Linus
P.S. I weigh 146 now.
