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 ltetter 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 irght. Can't put up iwht 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 breafast this a.m. and they liked it fine but the didn't voluteer to goin in on anything else so this noon E. & I are going to rush madly down & get a hruried lunch. I have it on everyone else and if Snoop Barker the old maind at the end of the hall keeps her head out of our room, we are save. 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 irght along with them. My knitting bag is full.

Oh yes, by the way, you have Edtyhe 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 wll stretch. If fit me okay.

I'm just sitting on pins and needeles for fear wehn 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 ir 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
