Dear Frances:
I know your letter is around somewhere but I don't know exactly where at the moment. I have not written to Dean Geiger. He might think I had enough psychology to teach it but I doubt it very much. I have had 23 hours (almost a major) of undergrad + 10 hours of grad work in it. My Grad major is guidance + personnel. I was thinking mostly of the Dean's job when I wrote you. Not that I want to live in a dormitory!
Your point about the hom do I know it would help out the folks' situation to come to C.R. is well taken. I was assuming they would agree to move there or nearby, and had in mind taking it up with them if it looked likely I could get a job at Coe.
However, I last week had a letter from Tom saying Mama had been to the doctor & he says she has pernicious anemia and is hopeful it will respond to treatment but that she must have rest and care. Bess is going home for a while. She will be coming through Chicago on Wednesday evening.
I don't know how long she plans to stay - it probably will depend on how Mama gets along.
I have previously written to Cecil if she could go part of the summer. She says she could go June 15 to July 15 if necessary. I had planned, before this anemia came up, to take the latter half of August and the first part of September - up to Labor Day. Now, it will depend on

Saving...
