Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

​This is an extra letter in the middle of the month because I’m sort of lonely to-night.

It ’s awfully stormy. The snow is beating against my tower. All the lights are out on the campus, but I drank black coffee and I can’t go to sleep.

​

I had a supper party this evening consisting of Sallie and Julia and Leonora Fenton—and sardines and toasted muffins and salad and fudge and coffee.

Julia said she’d had a good time, but Sallie stayed to help wash the dishes.

​

I might, very usefully, put some time on Latin to-night—but, there’s no doubt about it, I ’m a very languid Latin scholar. We ’ve finished Livy and De Senectute and are now engaged with De Amicitia (pronounced Damn Icitia).

​

Should you mind, just for a little while, pretending you are my grandmother?

Sallie has one and Julia and Leonora each two, and they were all comparing them to-night.

I can’t think of anything I’d rather have. It ’s such a respectable relationship.

​

So, if you really don’t object—When I went into town yesterday, I saw the sweetest cap of Cluny lace trimmed with lavender ribbon.

​

I am going to make you a present of it on your eighty-third birthday.

​

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

​

That’s the clock in the chapel tower striking twelve. I believe I am sleepy after all.

​

Good night, Granny.

​I love you dearly.

​Judy.
