Description

Comments on a social gathering at a house with a few of his friends and three girls, remarks, Oh! You know not what you miss by not living in a college town, where everyone is involved in the other's business. Acknowledges receipt of his parents' letter and a box containing cake, candy and socks. Expands on the short life of the cake and candy but expresses hope that his socks will last until June. Inquires about home and discusses his current wardrobe and the need for new clothes and tailoring.
