Dear Carrie,

Perhaps mine may come next week, as they have been ordered some time. Have seen Nannie Moffett once or twice lately- She has almost given up the idea of coming to Vassar. although she still thinks of trying to enter- Bird Bell expects to go to Europe in June with a party who will remain a year. Nannie M. also thinks of going if her uncles will give their consent - It seems to be a very good opportunity for improvement, as the lady in charge,
having been over before, has made all plans with that in view- Founder's

both very short one being that little thing you liked when I
played it last Christmas. Clifford's piece Is quite difficult and very pretty.
I have not as yet decided upon my dress. Send a sample of what Is called

over my old blue silk skirt It waist. It Is so hard to tell what will be
serviceable afterwards, and you know better than I what Is at home, and

should tell me - This [could] also be worn over [w—] for evening,

puny. Hoping that you all keep well. Yours —
