Have you and Mrs. Austen cards for the Gymnasium spread? As I have none for you? I arranged to have cards sent you and Mrs. Richards with whom I understood you were to be during the day to Beck and the Pudding spread and to thank the Gym.
I am very sorry that I did not have your Aunt's address at the time but will get an extra one for Beck if you will need it. My Mother and some friends from Harshill are coming and I am sure that I cannot be entirely at liberty during the day but I hope to meet you and go to two of the smaller spreads during the afternoon as you may be interested in seeing the college work and some of the men have kindly asked me to bring you. If have sent you cards to one of them in Matthews. I shall see you & hope before then and talk it over when I shall know certainly what Mother's plans are. There are absolutely no tall tickets to be discovered but I am in hopes—very faintly—of getting two. Sincerely Yours, J. Lloyd Nichols 21st Monday
