Hinman Bigelow Letters: Specimen of Loyalty (17 Feb 1919)

This letter was written on 17 February 1919. Hinman Bigelow isn't happy with the reply his mother sent him, but he has finally given up asking for the car. That doesn't mean he's done asking for money though!

Feb 17th. 1919,

Dear Mrs. Bigelow,

I received your very sarcastic and poorly spelled letter.

About the passing of my English, if I don't pass it I won't come back after Spring vacation so if you don't send the money I am out of luck!

Also I must have at least $3 extra for the debate Feb 22nd. next Saturday so please send it as I must get my suits fixed up and everything.

You are right, I did have auto fever.

As for any trips, if I am so fortunate as to make the team again, I will go on every possible trip to represent the school, you say no trips of any kind well that is a poor specimen of loyalty to the school.

You may leave the sarcasm out of your letters or I will use some of my own also some letters that might to interesting.

Also I want to have some photo's taken at the photographer as all the fellows are doing it and I never have had any so you may send me $8 to get a dozen. Don't forget! Which do you want taken in citizens or uniform?

Well don't forget to send the things I asked for $3.00 for a pair of new puttees everyone has to have two pair.

Yours,
Mr. Ted Bigelow
