Dear Mother,
Last week was so busy that I had not time to write even one letter although I had hoped to. our reviews have begun and they I mean the long lessons, compel us to get up at five or earlier, and study until the last bell rings. I have thought of you as housecleaning this dreadful weather and have wished to be at home to bear a hand now that Evie has gone, it must be hard; however when you get this letter it wont be much more than two weeks and then three months of bliss.

Your loving Mollie
Give my love to Pappa.
