Miss Butler, we haven talked yet. Tell Miss Jeanett[e] I write to her next time. And give here and here and your mother my love. So I will close for this time. From your little girl, Becky May Huff.

[children_wrtg_044a.jpg] and [children_wrtg_044b.jpg] January 27, 1927. Two-page handwritten letter to Mrs. Ethel de Long Zande from Huff at Berea College, Berea, KY.

[044a] Berea College, Berea, Ky.
E. Roger’s Hall …
January 27, 1927.

Dear Mrs. Zande:

I have been writing letters just about all day and I believe more than half of them have been to Pine Mountain. We are all through registering and are ready for classes again to-morrow. Registering wasn’t quite so hard this time, because I knew just what came next.

There are so many new students now, we can hardly pass in and out of the Dining Halls. I emagine (sic) there are quite a number of new students at Pine Mountain, too. Some of the girls told me that there were twenty girls at Laurel House now. In all the girls’ building[s] there are three and four girls in each room, except Roger’s [044b] Hall.

Our Pine Mountain group has increased this week. Every one says that it seems as though Berea is made up of Pine Mountain. There are nearly forty of us here.

I am taking agriculture now. We don’t have any text books, we take notes during the whole class period. I think it’s going to be an interesting class. Then in the spring I think we are going to do some real farming. I hope we do, any way.

Thelma said give the family her love.

With love to you all.
Becky May.
