Thursday, 11 a.m.

No letter again this morning, what 
can be the matter. Last night I dreamed 
I was out walking and met you, Ma, 
coming to the college. You were ill and 
had cone east to consult Physicians. 
But dreams go by contraries and so I 
will try and not worry, Madame 
is very sick, and so we do not recite 
again to-day. Last night it cleared off 
and was much colder, wind blew 
hard and is still blowing from the 
north. I am so hungry to-day I do 
not know how I can wait until dinner 
time. I won't mail this until after 
the noon mail comes, maybe there 
will be a letter come then. I hope you 
will have time to write me three letters 
a week. Pa I do think you might 
me oftener. If you see Fred Flint and 
have an opportunity remember me 
to him, and tell him I should have 
liked to have had him call when
he went home. I wrote to Mrs. Holmes 
and to Addie yesterday. Why shall
I not write to Mary Willson. She has 
written me two letters lately, and I 
can not imagine what the reason 
can be that I must not answer 
them. Pa what are you thinking 
about the Centennial? The time 
is drawing near, only fifteen weeks 
before you must be here, if you 
come down. I could be at the depot 
all ready for N. Y. or you could 
stop over one train and come out
here. Do come, there will not be 
another in 100 years, and that wont 
be the first one. What shall I do 
with my furs? And why could 
you not send my Japanese down 
in a trunk then I could put 
my extra things in it and when 
you come down you could take 
it back with you without any 
extra expense. That would not cost 
as much as to buy a new trunk 
and we do not need a new trunk. 
Friday I took my watch in to one 
of the Jewelry stores Friday. Where a
number of the girls have had satisfactory 
work done. He said the works were 
all right the reason it would not go was 
because the spring to the case, which 
was broken, had slipped out of place 
and stopped it. All it wanted was 
a new spring. As I have no French 
Nellie and I am going in town after it 
this afternoon. I am afraid they will 
not put my name in the catalogue 
"Addis." They will say it is Adelaide. 
If they do, will write for you to tell 
them my name is Addie, no more or 
no less.
Just came up from dinner, 
no letter I what is the matter! 
Bill of fare, ham, eggs, icecream, &c
In great haste-
Your loving daughter
Addie Thompson
