My dear Mamma,
Taking "no news for good news," and trusting In the maxim "Bad news travels fast," I have been able to get through this week pretty well without hearing from you, but hope that my faith will not be so tried again, as I don't think it could hold out long.

Received a letter from Jennie

There is really quite a chance for Cliffie to enter our class

I had hoped to have time to write you a longer letter this period, but the bell is just ringing, and I must close in order to have this letter go out in the mail.
