My own Detty

I do hope, dearie, that you have gotten through your horrid old exams alright and that you haven't had to worry about them very much. But I am sure you have passed them all beautifully, even the Chemistry that Margie said you were worried about. Because you are so bright, and you can't deny it. Oh, I did envy Margaret so much when she went down and saw you again and I had to stay here and not see you. I am just as wild to see you again as if I hadn't for four or five months. But it has been a very long time, hasn't it? But I will probably see you on my way down to Raleigh, won't I? I am going to start on the fourteenth, and then I will go to Chapel Hill for two or three days and then I will really get to work again! I am crazy to see the girls but it will be perfectly dreadful to have to leave home again. I will be so homesick all over again, and I don't see how I can leave Princeton again. I really ought to go before but I am going to stay for the dance on the twelfth. I am scared to death about it because preceptors and graduate students scare me to death with a vengeance, but I will try to survive it. I wish you could come to it! Please, please try. I really would enjoy it if you could my come, my own Detty.
I have all my bandages off now—not even any court plaster; isnt that fine? The scar doesn't look at all pretty now, but I hope it isn't going to show much, later on. The doctor was very much pleased with my health etc. Isn't he the nicest little thing? I am crazy about him.
We heard from Father the other day and he is still having a glorious time. Just think! It is less than a week now before he comes back. I wish you would be here to see him darling Good-bye, and do write to me as soon as you get time.
