My dear people:-
How can I wait to see you. It seems as if Wednesday would never come. Oh I shall be so glad to get home. I don't believe I can ever leave again. To tell the truth, I hope Mr Stephens won't come. I had rather be alone with you. Don't you worry yourself about my wanting to go into college settlement work.

At present it seems as if if I once got home I should never want to leave again. This week has passed by much as usual in work. Friday night Bliss Perry lectured on Hawthorne. And everybody enjoyed it so. It
was lovely, I should like to hear it right over again. Saturday I had a dreadful fit of the blues. I suppose it was very foolish. But still I did.

It seems as if there were such a lot of girls here but I don't seem to have got below the surface with anybody. It makes me rather unhappy. We don't ever seem to have time, and every body lives so far away.
Well I can talk all about these things when I come home and expect
to be all cheered up, and fix for only 3 weeks longer Just think isn't that

lovely? I don't know whether this will get home much before I do or not.
I couldn't send it in town. Wasn't the game perfectly great. Why we
couldn't believe it at first.
I suppose you know about Coras sisters engagement? She is very
much pleased.

Ruth.
