Eleanor Randolph Wilson McAdoo to Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre

How I love your sweet letters! Even though I do repeat myself for the fiftieth time I have to say it. Oh my sweetest, I love you more than I can ever tell you and I am very, very happy because I know how much you love me. Oh Jetty darling how I wish I could be with you always. Why didn't I go to Baltimore! But I musn't get doleful because it won't be right and I will see you soon and—oh think of next summer. Won't I make the most of my opportunities there? Not once will I be snappy and cross with you again, my dearest, you can be sure of it. I don't see how I could ever have been. And this isn't just idle talking: it won't be different when I get home. I am not going to get into those horrid, petty little tempers any more. I am so thankful that you always understood and knew that I didn't mean anything. You always do understand, and oh how glad I am. Are you going home at Easter and when do your holidays come? I hope you have ten days this time and I know you will have a splendid time. We will have Good Friday and possibly Saturday and then of course Sunday and Monday. We will probably have a grand time feasting as lots of the girls are going to get boxes then. When you go home please see if it will be possible, without giving Mother any trouble to send me a box. I am crazy for one. But if its the least bit of trouble don't let it be done. I am not going to ask Mother for it because then she would do it whether it was trouble or not.Oh, Day-day, I am scared to death. I have to debate in a Sigma Lambda meeting next Wednesday. Isn't that terrifying and dreadful? But it isn't as awful as it could be, by any means as they write the debates here and read them. But then afterwards we are supposed to retort out of our heads to what the others have said. I have never done anything like it before and I am petrified about every bit of it. I suppose I will get through it somehow. The question is: Resolved that the student body aught to have the right to put down any dishonorable dealing among the scholars. We have the affirmative which is much the easiest. Tell Mary McCurley that the sides are Isabel Hanna and I against Marguerite Le Cron and another girl. I wish there was time for you to write and tell me some good points. I know you could help me, but by the time you get this it will be the day before the fateful day. To change the subject suddenly—I have a new Greek teacher Crook (that is Mr Cruikshank) doesn't teach it to me anymore!! Hurray! A new teacher that who has just come, Miss Brown teaches me. She is very nice and about three dozen times more interesting than Crook, and she knows an awful lot about it which was not Crooks special accomplishment! But I have to study it much harder than before but it is worth while as it is twice as interesting now.
I'm afraid I must stop now as it is late and I am getting to the end of my sheet. I'm afraid this letter isn't particularly interesting, as I have certainly not told much news. I wish I could write as interesting and inclusive (is that the right word) letters as you do.Poor Detty, I am so sorry you were disappointed about Mother's coming. I was so distressed when I heard about her being sick. I hope and pray she is well now—perfectly. Good-bye my dearest, I love, love, love you.
