Daddy-Long-Legs

20th December

Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

I've just a moment, because I must attend two classes, pack a trunk anda suit-case, and catch the four-o'clock train--but I couldn't gowithout sending a word to let you know how much I appreciate myChristmas box.

I love the furs and the necklace and the Liberty scarf and the glovesand handkerchiefs and books and purse--and most of all I love you! ButDaddy, you have no business to spoil me this way. I'm only human--anda girl at that. How can I keep my mind sternly fixed on a studiouscareer, when you deflect me with such worldly frivolities?

I have strong suspicions now as to which one of the John Grier Trusteesused to give the Christmas tree and the Sunday ice-cream. He wasnameless, but by his works I know him! You deserve to be happy for allthe good things you do.

Goodbye, and a very merry Christmas.

Yours always, Judy

PS. I am sending a slight token, too. Do you think you would like herif you knew her?
