M73 ai 5 HW, ,some of the boys, but a fellow they called Pat, said that ' ' X JS' gp, o gpaw X after supper we would go down to leddyls and play there. It was the queerest game of marbles I ever saw W 1 . - I I . . . e p ayed on a big green cos ered table, and the marbles were big white ivory ones. We pushed them around with long sticks for awhile, and then Pat said that I had lost. I have joined the Y. M. C. A. here. I find th d l I am going to write to father for tive more. e ues pretty ieavy. I have already paid hfteen dollars, and to-morrow Some of the Sophornores are real nice fellows. A lot of them came around to see me and I sand and spoke for 7 ' 'O them, and then they sang a song that sounded like ff Marching thro' Georgia. But they would n't let me sing it, and one time when a couple of our fellows did sing it, they came round and wet them in bed. I wonder why? I am getting along hnely in my studies. I have n't got below M, and last term I got a G. I think I am doing Hrst rate. Let me hear from you soon. 29 W ILLY.
