Marion Willard, born on this day in 1891, wrote this in a letter to her family from Vassar. Raise your hand if you’ve ever become “absorbed and inhospitable” while reading a good book! 🙋

It’s #betsytacytuesday and we made our donation drive goal, which, we didn’t post it here but it meant that we colored in all of our herbarium graphic! (Here’s an excerpt from the herbarium chapter of Betsy Was a Junior, in case you need your memory jogged.) And if you donated: thank you!! 💐

It’s Maud’s birthday, and the last day of our donation drive! Help us meet our goal (and get a neat incentive gift in return!) 👇
