be held in the Gymnasium and later we will dance in Philalethean Hall, which is up stairs over the gym. I will write a long letter to Mamma on Sunday and tell you all the news. I rec'd a letter from Cousin Rebecca to-day, and tho' she said she would write to Mamma I think I will enclose it. I don't expect you will write long letters but I hope you will write me once in a while. Tho' I send most of my letters to Mamma I know you all
