Dear people,
Please believe I am always well even when I do not write and do
not be alarmed. Sometimes I have a lazy fit, and do not write when I
should, and sometimes a busy one - Four years of regularity have done
something to mend my ways, but yet not enough, and whenever I can find
a loop-hole through which to escape regular action I try it still -
Saturday your letters came one mail earlier than usual. I think

the trip to New York must be made a few hours sooner than it used to be.
This fall has been an extremely pleasant one, less cold weather
than other years when I have been North - Of course there has been heat
on in the house since we came back, but we have worn summer calicoes,
and not put on our winter flannels yet - I think I shall wear my "cheap

all winter. In fact I find it is nearly only the thing I shall have…

I am very glad to receive the printed account of the Ladies Supper,
but I would have liked a longer description of your own appearance and
actions - Did I write you that Miss Allen of Galveston decided not to
remain here? Cliffie tells me that her father is of the firm of Allen and
Pritchard I think the name is - Mrs. Waul said that she knew the family -
A few days ago I strained my ankle a little and walked lame for a
while. Now, however it is entirely well - It was a very fortunate escape,
for a few days

after another girl also slipped in going downstairs and is
now going on crutches - I toll you of my slight accident, so that if you

One of the girls Is talking, and I am In haste to post this, so
please excuse all mistakes, and bad writing -
With love, J. M. Pease
