Dear Mom,
Just had a nice chat with Simmy - she's just returned from six weeks of student teaching in Denver. She and Bob Bole are getting married in July. Would you please send the wedding veil, dress, and hoop, as soon as it's convenient. She said she'd be glad to pay for the postage. We're not sure if the dress would fit her but it might be alright. It'd probably be best to send it here since she's living at the sorority house and delivering packages there might be more of a risk.
Certainly appreciated that aluminum "oven saver" you sent with the pizza pie pan a few weeks ago. I baked a rhubarb pie this morning and quite a bit of juice ran over - thanks to the little round pan, I only had to clean it instead of the whole oven. The pie turned out to be delicious - or at least Pete acclaimed it as such. We got the rhubarb from our own plants in the backyard - really handy. The pie was nice and tart but not a bit bitter so I was pleasantly surprised.
I am in the midst of studying for another English history test, it's rather boring this part of the quarter so it's quite a grind to study for it. Can't remember if I already mentioned it or not, but I got a 92 on the 1st test which was the highest grade in a class of over 60. I felt quite proud of that, but now I'll have to work to keep my grade up there.
Bye for now,
Love,
Me
