Dear Friend;
line 5
Having Hust reread
line 6
your most kind and welcome
line 7
letter of tenth inst, it gives
line 8
me renewd energy to try and
line 9
answer the same.
line 10
This week has seemed
line 11
to me to have been most a
line 12
month. I guess it is because
line 13
our school convened last
line 14
Monday instead of to-day;
Page 2 line 1
and the last of my exami-
line 2
nation were on Thursday
line 3
so that helps to make the
line 4
time longer. I will be having
line 5
four days of rest before
line 6
Tuesday next, by that time
line 7
I will now tell you about
Page

I am most afraid I will
line
8
be so lazy I cannot get to
line
9
school.
line
10
I think Aggie real
line
11
mean to defer telling you
line
12
something about me because
line
13
I had not written to her
line
14
for some time. I have
line
15
come to the conclusion that
line
16
she wanted to arouse your
line
17
curosity just as you do
line
18
me sometimes
line
19
Page

however I wrote to her
line
1
yesterday; and I trust she
line
2
will not have forgotten what
line
3
she intended telling you.
line
4
For my part I just as
line
5
leave she would not tell
line
6
you, because I know there
line
7
could not be anything good
line
8
told and I just as leave
line
9
should
the bad / go untold; but I
line
10
believe Aggie to be a good girl,
line
11
and what ever she sees fit to
line
12
tell, I will try and bear
line
13
line 14
Page 3
our weather, as I think we
line
15
have it all. Yesterday afters-
line
16
-noon about four oclock it
line
17
commenced to rain, and
line
18
continued untill about

nine, then it began snowing;
line
1
and this morning there was
line
2
about five inches of snow
line
3
on the ground. In consequence
line
4
of the rain I did not get to
line
5
go to the college to a dance
line
6
last night.
line
7
To-night, the literary
line
8
society gives a banquet at
line
9
the college, I do not intent
line
10
to go, although there
line
11
are no rails in the streets
line
12
of Logan
line
13
You ask me when
line
14
Page
5
I intended leaving, and where
line
1
I calculated to go. I will say
line
2
I am not fully convinced yet
line
3
that I am going before school
line
4
is out. I do not think
line
5
I will go to Bute as I hear
line

it is pretty dull. When I have
line
7
fully decided I will let you
line
8
know. I will just say I
line
9
have been thinking about
line
10
Oregon, but I feel pretty sure
line
11
I will not go there.
line
12
Could you give me
line
13
Harrys address. I think
line
14
I promised to write to him
line
15
when I left Panacea; but
line
16
have not up till this time
line
17
for which I feel very ashamed.
line
18
I do not think I
line
19
Page

ever told you about my new
line
1
niece Martin nd Fannie have
line
2
a girl. I think I have
line
3
written about enough for this
line
4
time, so I will conclude
line
5
trusting these few lines
line
6
will find you well and happy
line
7
With love and best wishes
line

I remain as ever,
