Dear Carrie,
I was greatly disappointed at not receiving a letter from you, and
fear you will also be so next week, for it is some days since I have written. I forget how fast the days go, and find Saturday has arrived before I know. Much as I am anxious to be at home again, and you know how
much that is, I am yet
pleasant, and we are sad to think that the year will so soon be gone, and
we will be separated perhaps never to meet again - Having been with each
other so long we must care for each other and this place where we have
spent many happy, if also many unhappy hours - Every one is very kind
to us, and I realize
"Cheap but prettys" or as the girls seem to prefer to call them,
Cheap but prettys" are all the rage in our Class. Twenty five have reported
already and more are coming in by degrees - Mine is considered the prettiest if anything, and was mistaken for a silk when it first made its
appearance.
her Mother in Virginia and since its arrival you may be sure we have
feasted - Two evenings we have had friends invited in to share oar
"goodies" and now we have plenty to last us some days -
The ham was delicious and pickles cake fee were very nice -
Must stop now and read up a little for my essay -
With love,
Julie
