Sunday night
[Fall 1874]
Dear Cara,
In spite of feeling miserably stupid and sleepy, I yet must
write you a few words before retiring, for fear that time will be lacking
tomorrow. Tonight I have made but one call, although there are many
others which should have been made, but It is always a great effort for me
to start, and after going in town to church I am unusually tired. Our Senior parlor was opened last evening and has since been quite a "belle". Teachers and students have been flocking there continually. This
one corner of the room is my "Playing Doctor," which is a good deal admired. That is the only contribution I have made in addition to the Class tax, but that is sufficient I think
There are some pretty carpets In cheap ones, for after much
trouble the one in our Senior parlor has been selected and is pretty. It
is like a Brussels pattern, a soft grey with twistings and intricacies of
darker shade - Last night came Papa's letter and Mamma's giving me
great pleasure. It is very pleasant to get the letter Saturday night, and
yours when it comes in the middle of the week somewhere -
With much love,
Julie
