I hope you will pardon the typing but I’m at Elaine’s tonight and my pen is out at the fraternity.<\/p>\n

I pledged the Sigma Nu fraternity last night they have a swell bunch of fellows from all over the country. Sun. night is formal pledging and after that they start laying it on. This rush week has really been nice I’ve met so many fellows that I’ve just about forgot my own name.<\/p>\n

I’ve got to bed before two just one night this week all the other they have taken us down to Chicago to all the night clubs Mon. night the Chicago thetre Tues. night the Bismark and the Panther Room at the hotel Sherman. I’m staying here at Elaine’s expecting to get a good nights sleep.[1]<\/sup><\/a>Elaine and Stanley lived in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, just south of Evanston, where Northwestern University is located.<\/span><\/span>
