My dear Mother,
Don't think that I am married or have changed my name through any legislative means to correspond with the above monogram. It is some paper that Hattie Drower gave me to write a letter for her on business to the city. She has been ill for three weeks. How funny that we should go home together again and she should be sick Just as she was before! I can hardly realize that

we have passed our last sabbath of this year at Vassar College. Dr. Raymond preached the Baccalaureate sermon this afternoon. It was one hour in length and on the text "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." I never was so sleepy in my life as during the first half but towards the last I became more lively and enjoyed his address to the Seniors very much.

ing I would be there. I thought after the letter was posted that I had forgotten to state that important item. I have just written him that it would be Friday morning. Now if you don't hear any thing of me that night you may conclude that I am with Emma but I shall be at Lisbon in the "bosom of my family" if not left by the cars.

Remember that this is the last letter and in two nights after you get it I shall be "wid ye".
