Stanford Student Letters and Memoirs

[written] p. 23 b XVIII

[typed] I don't know if you know about the collarette that Wallace was to make me. It is a great sucess. I got it yesterday and it certainly is a very rich garment. Your descritoion of your 14 mile walk was delightful. How strong you are.' I should be tired out with such a long tramp - 5 or 6 miles is about as much as I can stand. I have walked to Menlo and back which I thought quite a feat. The Stanford is or has been a gorgeous sight. THe leaves all turned red as the reddest wine. This is the most ideal place and we are so happy here. This morning I had a fit of cleaning though Sunday, but I didn't get back until 7 last night and so I feel it a necessity to get our room in order for the weeks work. Rose was busy yesterday over a dance which the girls had gotten up very suddenly. Rose enjoyed it very much. I am so glad she does. Tomorrow night we the Roble girls are to be given the Thanksgiving dinner at Encina. I would 100,000 times rather dine quietly here but I suppose we won't have anything here in anticipation of the event. O! whom do you think came down on the train with me but Harry Morrison! He gracefully gave his seat beside me to Mr. Wright about half way here and so I had a chance to ask of Mrs. W. She has been very ill. Pleurisy this time I think. She is up now after 3 weeks in bed. My pencil has gottes so dull that I shall resign in favor of Rose She read me the first of her letter which sounded so well that I was quite discouraged ere I began. Love to Aunt Clara and yourself. from Theodora.
