Margaret Woodrow Wilson to Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre

Dearest Jetty

I was so glad to get your dear letter. I am glad that you convinced the Hoyts of the impossibility of doing in one day more than the time allows.

The initiation must have been fun. I am glad that you have at last got your forks. Now only one more initiation for you to go through. That is real strong. I hope that you do not learn any new fangled way of eating with a fork in your old society; for I don't want you to be cast out of Princeton society, because of your table manners.

I certainly am coming to the banquet. Don't you think that Polar and I could take each other. It would be such packs of fun. If we can't won't you try to manage our sitting together, tat is within one of each other. You are on the banquet committee, aren't you?

There isn't much to tell you this time. I walked to Kingston, thence to Rocky Hill, and home, 9 miles, with Mr Brown one of the English preceptors. That same night, Thursday night, we had an exceedingly nice dinner party. Miss MacMury, Kennedy, Preston, and Bout were here. Mr Preston is an inspiring accompanyist, I simply love to sing with him.

Tomorrow Mr MacMury is going to take Mother & me to a Ladies day tea at the “Players Club” in New York—You know it is the club that Booth founded, and his house belongs to them, as their club house now. Lots of people besides actors belong to it now. I am quite excited over the prospect of going. I am hoping to have a very interesting time. The trouble is that we have to leave before the rush. The tea is from 2 to 6, and we must leave it at 64.15. I wish you and Nellie were going too.

Adeline is going to Boston soon. Then I shall be lonely, Margaret and she both away at the same time! I got a postal from Polar just before she landed, so she must be home by this time. Mother and Father are both well. I have heard no news of the team lately. Mr Eisenhart is reported to be engaged to a York girl.

Well dear, I am tired, so, as I have to write to Nell before I hie me to bed, I had better say good bye.

With love for the girls and love, lovelove unending love for your sweet self from,

Your devoted sister,
Margaret W. Wilson

PS I don't know exactly when the house party is to be. Please tell me so I can decide whether I can go or not. 

I enclose a cheque for your May allowance and a bit extra for your commencement expenses.
