Tuesday Morning

Dear Mom,

Many thanks for the box of cookies that arrived yesterday. They certainly are delicious. The box from Taylor's arrived this morning. Everything was there, except they sent only four pairs of socks. So when you pay the bill be sure that you only pay for FIVE, not six. You remember that we took one pair with us when we bought the things.

I am suffering from a terrible cold. On Saturday I had a sore throat in the evening, and I went to bed rather early. I didn't go to the dance. I spent most of Sunday in bed, reading for Humanities, but on Sunday evening I had a runny nose and felt quite miserable. Yesterday afternoon I had a bio lab, which I almost didn't go to, because I felt so punk. But it was quite interesting; I'm glad that I went. I go again today.

I bought a copy of "The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics," and also a couple of volumes of a set of books that show some lovely Photographs of Europe. The two that I bought are of Paris and Rome, I have a great desire to buy a lot of books every time that I go into the bookstore, but I must try to choose carefully.

Well, I must go to lunch. I enclosed the copy of the receipt that came in the package.

This typewriter is very useful. When Linda wants it back I fear that I will have to buy one myself.
