permission to put a diamond on Ruby's finger. I think I'll have to send you the letter if I can find it, to see if he did it correctly. Today is the first Sunday in weeks that I didn't get a "Special". Some way all my gent friends are deserting me since I wrote about you. (Oh, I remember you don't care for that word "gents" as a usual thing, and this is unusually usual.) Last night I stayed down town to dinner with Ruby and Heiser, and the latter made some very nice remarks about you. I have not seen the Captain since the day we were in the Dempsey saloon with him. (Business of rapping on wood.) Con, you said you wanted me to ask you to do things for me so I'm going to begin pronto. Could you send home or wherever it is, and get your fraternity pin for me? I'd love to have it. I can't even remember your frat, and you'll have to tell me all over again. I wish I had asked you before, when you were here because I'd like to have had it when the boys are home from Columbia this vacation. There is a condition attached to this business of asking things and that is, you are to refuse whenever you wish, please. Mama is very anxious to have you
