Smith, Winifred M.
Smith received an Aztec sticker with her Aztec Service Men's News Letter. On the train Smith ran into "two pullman cars of girls from the 11th Naval District." Her platoon in Capen House at Smith College has been without power all day from a storm. She sends addresses for Melba Taylor, Dora Newall, and Mary Carnell, all the same as her own. The course was shortened to 3 months, and she goes into details about life there.
