Dear Sister:
This is another Thanksgiving at

great deal to be thankful for. I
suppose and hope you folks at home

you, bu4 it is impossible just now.
My school work here keeps me busy
and 1 really enjoy it very much.
The ability of the teachers to clarity
all problems and difficulties is
wonderful. To my certain knowledge
and experience the reason for many
failures in the business world is
that they did as I have done
plunged into business without suffi-
cent educational training.
So in remembering me to my friends
just say that / am attending Pitts
