Sept. 12, 1866.
Dear Mother;
Safely & fairly seated
at our old table in No.23 it
seems very natural to be writ-
ing to you. We had a very
pleasant, but rather wearying
journey here. I did not & do
not feel very tired, but the rest
are about worn out. The
girls except Helen who went
right to bed - were at once ex-
amend in the primary English
studies and [I think] all
passed except the youngest
Hawley girl. I think the older
one will stay without her.
I devoted myself to them
until they were settled being
examined and then took

Mrs. Hawley, Mr. King, Hanna,
& Stuart over the building (I
shall take them to the Observ-
story tomorrow) and then went
to find Prof. Knapp. I found
[Mattie] & Minnie with him- who
I had not seen for about three
hours they having gone directly
to the college, -Prof. Knapp has
take a small recitation room
for a library- It is very pleas-
ant- Mrs. Knapp has been very
sick or they would have made
a western tour & [stopped] in D.
We girls all feel tolerably
tired and I must unpack
as far as a nightdress & some
soap- Helen says "give my
love to them & tell them I
am alive-" In spite of her
flannel skirt, I add.
I hope that you are getting
rested & that Uncle & Aunt

Safford will not come until
tomorrow. We kept our
own car all through Canada
to our selves. They telegraphed
for births [sp: berths?] for us all but could
not obtain them for all, and
Mattie, Mrs. Hawley & youngest
daughter and I glad took seat
in an ordinary car - and were the
only persons I have heard of
who slept well- The girls
began to get up & leave the
sleeping car in disgust by four
[oc]. this morning.
Prof. Tenney and family
have not yet come yet. I hope
they will be here tomorrow.
I must go to bed.
All the girls send love-
Good night-
Hattie-
Love to all the Uncles & Aunts
