User-Contributed Transcription Thursday eveningDear Folks: -I suppose you think perhaps the silence is getting rather long. Honestly though I simply can't seem to find time to write letters. Believe me they're not going to let anyone loaf at this school.Well. I'll tell you about the mess I got into unclear. When the conductor took my ticket I asked him whether I changed at Randolf and he said no went went straight through. Well, I took his word for it and as I have no sense of direction I didn't realize which way I was going and consequently after we had ridden quite a ways out of Randolf I wondered why we weren't at Carleton or Northfield and about the same time I discovered we were nearly to St. Paul! What was I to do with only 56��! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to locate Ed. so when the brakeman came through I asked him the quickest way to get back to where I started and he told me to get off at St. Paul and take the first train back. I told him I realized that was the proper thing but that I was broke. Well we went on & said he'd be back in a minute. Well, since I'm young
