Vassar College,
Oct. 1, 1871.
Dear Auntie,
X am sending Annie my photograph and will write yoa a short note.
I think the large photographs are better than the small one but both kinds
look exactly like me.
Our Lady Principal is Miss Terry from New Havea. Seme say
she is Rose Terry but I cannot find oat certainly. Did yoa not know the
authoress Rose Terry, I wonder if this Is the same. She Is not very tall
and has a very sweet face, bat looks as though she could bo stem If necessary.
1 have very alee parlor mates. Two are In my class. My roommate
Is very pleasaat, bat aot particularly brilliant. X hear there Is another girl
from Texas here, bat X have not seen her yet. What have you beea doing
since X left? X presume it took some time to pat the house la order.
X have aot unpacked my trunks yet having very little room to pat my
clothes, Oae trunk I shall cover aad keep la the room. Did I leave the roll
Of stuff like my Japanese silk la Poquoaock? H so X would like It seat me,
for I find that the sleeves are very much wora. It may bo la my truak here
but I think not.
I have givea up the idea of hearing from yoa, bat perhaps Annie can
send me a few iiaes.
Give much love to Grandma and Annie and keep much yourself from
your loving niece,
Julie M. Pease
