1915-1212 – George
Stevens Sherwood to Will & Ella Jane Sherwood and Susan
Appleton, Wisconsin December 12, '15
Dear Ones All:
Please
excuse the pencil but as I believe I told you, I lost my fountain pen and have
nothing but a common pen to write with and that scratches enough to drive me
wild.
There isn’t
much to tell and the excitement of thinking of going home is in my blood as I
write so that I doubt if you can read even what I do scribble. Mr. Moss alias Charlie is here to study
Physics. Suppose I’ll break my custom as
well and study on Sunday again too, as Analytics still continues to “get my
goat.”
My
standings for the six weeks are rather lower again than I like. They run something like this: Analytics – 82, Physics II – 85, Physics III
– 92, Mech Drawing – 84, Surveying
– 85, Money and Banking –
85? Well, again I swear – better next
time. And again I suppose they will be
worse. Edw and I have both written W
Canney asking him to come back to Kendall for
a visit at Xmas time, but don’t know whether he will or not. Have about decided to go by way of Beaver Dam
now which would bring me home Monday but don’t know yet for sure. It will be Sunday or Monday anyway, I
think.
By the way,
I’m just wild to go hunting and how in the world am I to arrange it when you
have “no hunting” signs in the Kendall Keystone and posted all over the
valley. I’ll go hunting I believe if I
have to go ten miles! We got beat in
basketball 23 to 21 by Stevens Pt. normal yesterday on our gym floor. What do you know about that. Verily this school is locoed on athletics
this year. I’d give a lot to come back
and try out for football next year, the way the outlook is now, but I suppose
it “Kan’t be Did.” Well, a week or so
more so love to all for now,
Geo.
S. Sherwood
