My Dear Mother
I receivedyour letter from Binghampton Friday and
was relieved to here at last that you still existed and were as well as
usual (which I almost began to doubt) Did you not write to me last Sun-
day for I still think you must have, though you did not say anything about it. There were several things in my letters which I thought you would speak
about. — I was very much interested in your account of that little dog
I think it must have been very amusing but it was too bad you did not have
pleas ante r accomodations for I am afraid it will disgust you with accompanying Father, and I should feel sorry to thing you were at home alone. W e have cut out the little Almanac that perhaps you noticed
do wish mine had been one. I am very anxous to hear if Julie is coming here. Mary Cornell had a letter from her in which she said she was going home but did not know whether she would come here or not. 1 hope she will.
We are expecting to have a grand concert here next month and all Prof's
music scholars are practising as hard as they can at present. I suppose
it will be quite nice I wish you could be here I must close now for I expect it is almost time for church and I ought to collect my thoughts a little I suppose preparatory to hearing a sermon over an hour long for they are never less than that now. Remember me to all enquiring friends. The girls all send love Em. says to your Father too and Nell adds to all your little brothers & sisters. Please write soon Ik as often as you can. I should love dearly to hear from Father if he can find the time. I shall be glad to get the Atlantic when you have finished.
With many kind wishes to both you It Father I remain
Your loving daughter
Ellen.
that enough to weary anyone especially when you think it will have to be
reported tomorrow eve. and there is 'ent one of us has any ideas hardly
about it. We were in Chapel over two hours and an hour at Chapel this
morning besides twenty minutes more this evening. I wonder the seats
don't wear out already don't you? I must say I am tired but I wanted to
give you an idea of how we spend Sunday.
Yours truly Ella
