Dear Little Sweetheart: I received a postal from you to-day. I certainly do envy you all those rides. I hope you had a competent chauffer. (One of two fs I dont know which). I wrote you a letter two or three days ago thinking you were going to leave Los Angeles Wednesday so I hope it is waiting for you when you get there. The Boston Red Sox (Worlds Base Ball Champions last year) are here playing at Illinois. We have had very nearly all the players over for dinner at odd times. Makes us feel quite stuck up entertaining all the celebrities. They are a dandy bunch. The whole team doesnt average over 25 year in age. They are all young and good looking. You had ought to be here to meet them. The big Engineering dance is on to-night but needless to say I am not going. I am going to a club dance though to-morrow night if it is a good night. Steinmeyer and I with a couple Pi Phis. To-night we have to entertain some more Red Sox. I had an exam to-day and got one question out of four and considered myself lucky. My back is all well again and I am feeling fit as a fiddle. If it wasnt for my university work I could almost enjoy myself. I have awfully to think of leaving this place this summer. I have become terribly infatuated with this place. The nearer June gets the more I feel it. I have just lived in the house long enough to feel at home and at ease. Besides it is such a fine house and good bunch. I guess I am getting sentimental in my dotage. It was gold as time to-day. So cold that they had to cancel the ball game. I hope it is warm and nice to-morrow because I want to go out to the Rail road yards and do some work on my thesis. I have it really started now and am going to steam right along with it. It is past the first of the month now and I am looking forward to a chuck from home. This is going to be the heavy month with the formal and all. I have wished a hundred times since I made that date for the formal that I hadnt made it. I would a whole lot rather stag it. It is only three weeks from to-day. Al. Mackey is going to be down and there are all the ear-marks of a good time. I must go down now and mix in with the bunch. I wish I could even look forward to waiting for you out in front of the Parish House to-night. I dont believe I would even scold you if you were late. Your Dahry-
