Last Sunday Dr Magoon from Albany preached here. I enjoyed his sermon
very much. He is a very original man, they say, and says very odd things.
He was the one of whom they bought the Art gallery. He collected the
most of it himself In Europe and many of the pictures have very interest-
ing histories and are very valuable indeed. He has a neice here at school,
she is in my German class. I do like Prof Tenney the professor of Nat History
so much. We have splendid advantages for studying Geology and visit the
cabinet once a week in groups of ten at a time so we have a good chance
to learn to know the different rocks and minerals. They have quite a
collection of stuffed animals and shells too. James has not written to me
in more than two weeks
