Stanford Student Letters and Memoirs

[written] p. 6 2

[typed] We had such a lovely letter from Mrs. Bliss who has been traveling about in the West Indies. Theodora heard also from Cousin Mary Tuckerman, her family seems to be just the same as usual. Bishop Nichols confirmed a class in Palo Alto today. I didn't go down as I thot it would tire me and I couldn't afford the afternoon for resting. The lenten services have been twice a week in the afternoon just at the time I have gymnasium work, which I couldn't arrange at a different time. What a pleasant time visiting you have had, and now I suppose that you are roaming about Bunpey Hollow & the Lake road but you can't find a more heavenly place that this with its blue hills & green fields flecked with poppy gold. Have not seen Gertrude & not heard from her as I have been a scamp about writing. Mrs. Myrich dropped in on us the other day & stayed over night. She sent much love to you. Prof. Anderson is just the same old dear that he ever was. To-night Sankey sings in the chapel. Theodora & I are going to hear him--do you remember when she heard Moody in Chicago. That reminds me that we got got August Treder's wedding cards. There goes the dinner bell--

Bye-bye

[typed] house so you see the secret of his recommendation for me to teach. The Stanford grounds are so beautiful now, every turn in the road beside the stream gives one glimpses of blooming orchards and the lawns are so green and in many places sprinkled with fallen blossoms.

I must tell you about going to church Good Friday service. Mr. Macy had asked if he might go with me and he cut a quiz for it and I cut Shakespeare as he said service was at ten o'clock. We hurried as fast as we could and found the church empty so thought we had made very quick time and could stroll around Palo Alto a while - when we came back the church was still empty but we went in and finally Mr. Peet appeared - we enquired what time service was to be and he said eleven - which meant we must cut the last morning class too- This was my Shelley with Prof. Anderson and I felt queer enough when I thought I was to meet him at 12:30 to go to luncheon with him. But there was nothing to do but stay and run the risk of not being too late to meet the luncheon engagement - especially as Mr. Macy is a freshman and I didn't want him to get into unchurchly ways. To add to my confusion I felt myself not more than half dressed as I had hurried so and as my shoe had come untied and unlaced itself down to my ankle which gave me a very dishabile feeling.

What a good time you had in New York and how lovely to see Mrs. Bliss! Thank you so much for all your trouble in buying such a lovely Santa Claus box of lovely things. I send by this mail one of the little pictures Helen and I had taken at Christmas time when the group was taken. We didn't have very many finished up then but we have a new supply now.

Miriam and Marylyn send love as well as all of Epsilon Chi -

Bye bye your loving Rose

I am sorry the pictures couldn't come in time for Easter...
