Description

Correspondence from E. J. Tobey, Fulton, Missouri, to Mabel Francis Gray, Memphis, Tennessee, 1931 October 26.

Excerpt: "Bob Carnes and I pledged Phi Delta Theta and we sure are crazy about the boys We have a '____' house with sixteen bedrooms and the nice living room and dining room you ever saw but the 'lounge room' is the best place in the house. There is a radio, victrola, card tables, leather upholstered furniture and a swell pool table. I spend most of the time in there. This is a 'knock-out' school and we're crazy about it. I'm taking fifteen hours. Spanish, English, Chemistry, English history and Bible, and it's some course... We've had several dances since school opened and they sure have been good but honey, none of these 'Yankee Gals' compare with you (honest). I give anything to see you darling. It seems so long since I've seen you."
