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
