3 October 1918

Dearest Don,

Tis much better that I use this kind of paper during school hours as J.E. is very apt to blow in on the scene.

I started a letter to you yesterday and can't find it. Good reading matter for some body who is curious.

The life is great! Too many hairs in the food has caused me to take up new quarters. I don't know whether the Gov't has issued a new rule asking that we use hair as a substitute but when I got the cook's combings wound around my macaroni last night says I, my move.

Gladys doesn't want to keep house. She's too darn lazy. She only has three brothers in the war at present and the fourth subject to call, but she's a slacker right. Can't put up with a few inconveniences and wants to be waited on, so I"m going to let her wait. Suits me. Edythe and I are going to start our own cooking for a while. We asked our respective roommates in to breakfast this a.m. and they liked it fine but the didn't volunteer to going in on anything else so this noon E. & I are going to rush madly down & get a hurried lunch. I have it on everyone else and if Snoop Barker the old maid at the end of the hall keeps her head out of our room, we are safe. I escalloped some potatoes and made some apple sauce this a.m. I've only had one class & they made cheesed potatoes so I cooked right along with them. My knitting bag is full.

Oh yes, by the way, you have Edythe to thank. She got your sweater out the other night and finished it and fixed the armholes etc. & I sent it to you yesterday. I hope if fits you. The head may be a little small but it will stretch. If fit me okay.

I'm just sitting on pins and needles for fear when Edythe's man comes home on his furlough about Oct 12. She won't come back but will get married and stay in Fargo. I'll simply die for you hit it right when you said we used the ???? quill.

Hope to get your fudge made sometime soon. I'll sign up for canning sugar.

Load of love,
Leone
