Dear Pete

Would you do something for me, Pete old lad? I want the calendar and the catalogue of courses offered by P.L.C.'s summer sessions. I think I'll squeeze everything possible into the summer I don't feel like wasting time at this stage of the game.

Also find out Pomona College's address. I think it's in Claremont, but I'm not sure. I may go there next fall.

Pop tells me you've become a social butterfly. That speaks well for your persuasive powers over the parents it takes a lot of energy to get out form under them. I am all for knocking around from one organization to another, from girl to girl, but I am also cognizant that there can be too much of a good thing. You should be discriminatory connect yourself with only the best and most worthwhile groups. That's the way to avoid over working yourself. But this is damn good experience for you.

What's up with you and this girl? Getting yourself entangled pretty deeply, I hear. I can't get a true view of the picture from Dad his outlook is very different from yours and mine. Being intimate with some female can be good or bad or both, depending on the character of the girl and what you do with her. Ma and Pa are pretty straightlaced with their kids I don't know why since they aren't prudish perhaps they just have a very strict sense of honor along that line. I myself am neither straightlaced, prudish, nor overhonorable

I enclose an envelope I'd like you to drop into the mail for me, please.

I hope to hell the requirement go down April 1^st, so I can get out of this place. I like N.Y. very much, but it's awfully expensive to run around here and also I have a feeling of wasting time. I've had that feeling for two and a half years now.

Best wishes, old boy. I hope to hear from you eventually. It took that letter you wrote last about a month to reach me.

Love to you from

Linie
