17th May

Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

This is going to be extremely short because my shoulder aches at the
sight of a pen. Lecture notes all day, immortal¹ novel all evening,
make too much writing.

Commencement three weeks from next Wednesday. I think you might come
and make my acquaintance--I shall hate you if you don't! Julia's
inviting² Master Jervie, he being her family, and Sallie's inviting
Jimmie McB., he being her family, but who is there for me to invite?
Just you and Lippett, and I don't want her. Please come.

Yours, with love and writer's cramp³.
Judy
