just love Wooster, I know. Pops did. It hardly seems true that he was really here. It seems more like a happy dream. How we shall look forward more and more as days go on to your coming. Hurrah for May 14th!

The Student Volunteers of the Northern Ohio Colleges are to hold thier [sic] Conference here the beginning of March. It keeps us very busy, I’m going to ask Mary to be on my committee for she has such ideas for decorating. Mr. Dinwiddle and Dr. Wilder are to be here. Also Dr. Graham of Oberlin. We are praying for a great awakening on our campus through them. Will you remember us.

With love to you all

Your “other” Mary [Brouwer]
