Old D.N. sure did scold her. He probably didn’t take her part with the fond mama either. That is the sort he is. Then downtown he had the nerve to tease her about it! Wrote letters to Dr. Zimmerman, President of Texas Univeristy, Pres of Girls School at Gulfport Miss. and D. McKay at Portaten. Decided against Sil. Ross. Believe I’d just as soon stay here – Must remind the Salt Lake man, too.
