September 16 1920
Dear Sister:--I will just take it for granted that you are settled in your new home by now and say nothing more about it. This seemed like home ot me as soon as I had been here one night if I have been homesick I do not know it. My room mate said he would get home sick if we had a rainy Sunday but If I get homesick at all it will be on one of those autumn days when the sunshine seems like gold the breeze is cool & crisp scented with the odor of falling leaves. That is when I feel like wandering out thru the woods alone and wish -- well almost wish I was not there and yet cannot leave the fascination of the Autumn.
I have been kept fairly busy here and will be kept busier as time passes and lessons (as well as the nights) get longer. Last evening I went over to the Gym and took a dip in the pool it is sure fine it is made of white glazed tile and the water is so clear that even by night (with electric lights) one can see the bottom where the water is 4 feet deep. I left a lot better for my "dip in the drink."
So far my books, paper & pens included, have cost about $28 and I got some second hand others Mayfield & doubled up on, and I had my drawing instruments which if I had bought them here would have cost about $10 or $15. This is a high priced school but I'll try to get my money's worth if it is possible.
Possibly I will be down there before Thanksgiving but do not know.
How is Luella? Does it seem natural to be back at I.U. again?
Will have to stop for a while Your Brother

No convo today I don't know why but the fact remains and it's none of my business why. I will mail this letter this noon then for 3 hours of Chemistry Lab from 1-4. I've been in the Lab. once before and they make a person work pretty hard.
It seems like I can't think of much to say and I'm not sure of your address and I hate to write a lot and then have it returned to me after it's a week old.
So Good Bye
