Dearest Jessie

I have been a prisoner in the last week, and Katie has been my keeper,. To prove how busy I was I did not see Adeline from Saturday to Saturday. You see why I haven't written.
Probably Nellie told you the condition of affairs up to the time of her departure from us.
Friday and Saturday the comittee of the board met, and finally decided that there was nothing to do because they were sure that the Trustees are not going to uphold the plan on Thursday. In that case Father will of course resign, that is if they vote against the quad system. There is slight hope that somthing can be done to prevent the catastrophe, but it is very slight, and the grounds for it are so indefinite that there is nothing definite to tell you in that line. Mother told me to tell you and Nellie that everything is in such confusion that there is nothing definite to tell you, but that the case is not absolutely lost we hope as yet.
Now, dear, how are you getting along in your campaign? Please please write and tell me everything, for I am very, very eager to hear.
Nothing exciting has happened here in the social line. I had a nice time this afternoon entertaining tfour suitors at once, Mr MacDonald, Mr Miles, Mr Hastings and Mr Cameron. Next week I shall go to the Elm club dance. Everybody is so excited over the big fight that there are very little social doings. Mr Miles is rushing Katherine harder than ever—Mr Brown thinks that he is in dead earnest.
We have beaten two foot ball games with Stevens Institute and Bucknell. The score of the Bucknell game was 50 odd.
I shall probably go to Chapel Hill in November and come back, then go to Nashville and New Orleans and maybe Atlanta later—Dear, I have told you all the news, and I am so dead tired that I shall have to stop and go to bedWith love inexpressible for you my own dear, noble sister, I am,

Your loving,
Margaret
