1 11/23/01 Berkeley Dear Mama I went to the opera last night with Mrs Pitcher to hear the Meistersinger and everyone
enjoyed it wonderfully, the quintet where Gadski? , Shermman-H eich? , De R u? ski, Bishpam and Dippel all sing is marveous
(I fear these people would hardly know there names the way I've spelled them) I do wish that you could hear some of it, couldn't
you come down for Monday's Matinee? I couldnt go with you, but that wouldnt matter. I suppose you have heard from the papers
how good Mrs Hearst is being to us about music, I went to the Damrosch recital this afternoon, it was delightful and we all
went almost crazy, 09184 2 and better still I am going to hear Shumman-Hieck and Bishpam sing Monday afternoon, and
it is all free you know. I am not going to hear Carmen tonight a I expected for Calve is not going to sing and Tallulah and
I were too sleepy to stay up so late unless it were something very exceptionally good. I got home at 2 A.M. this morning,
and went up to college at 9 and had an awful English ex I guess I got through alright but it wasn't exactly pleasant. I saw
Miss Eastwood at the opera last night and she said that she could 09184 3 not come up Thanksgiving, have you invited
the folks over for dinner then. I hope there wont be any other company then for I want to rest, sleep and calm down a little
after all this rush and excitement. I will be home Wednesday night at the usual time. Time to go to bed, Goodnight With
love Wannie Friday night 09184
