Mon AM
Dearest Betty
Here I am in the first period study hall but how I ever got here I’ll never be able to tell. I feel just at present as though 8 o’clock class training was the most valuable thing I got in college. I awoke this morning at quarter of eight and had to be in school at 5 of eight. Did you ever hear anything as tragic.
I’m not much more fond of the fat lady than ever but believe me we had a good time this week end! She asked Lady Margaret to go. To the game and play with us too so we went up on the 11:27 Sat. A.M. and met them all at two. There i

s the physical training teacher from New Brunswick and his fiancé, Miss Rahn’s sister who teaches in Atlantic City and an ex ’20 fellow from Syracuse. Miss Rahn and her beloved Rae and a Bill Prince who is his friend and I. They’re all awfully good friends and were the best sports. I was just plain thrilled to be back in the atmosphere of a college game once more. It was the biggest treat I’ve had in a long time. We went to the most adorable tea house for dinner. It was in Greenwich village, New York City-down a little alley in the poorest section. They say at one time it was an old barn but has been all plastered over and white washed on the outside and had cute pine trees and evergreens on each corner and inside. It was just so adorable. There we saw the much talked of play “The Bat” and it was a whale. It was so weird and spooky and stage dark about half the time that I was just weak after it was over. All detective stuff and shooting and Robbery and ghosts and fire and thunder and lightening and Bats.
We put Mrs. Wittstein on her….[letter ends]

If you're new to this project, please consider going to our site and catching up with a few letters from the 1900-1910 era. The letters only take 3-5 minutes to read and you'll find the characters more fully develop if you read the letters chronologically.
John has excellent handwriting. However, in some instances, I cant decipher it. If I can't, I simply mark the spot with "xxx"s to signify thank the word isn't decipherable.
