Dear Carrie,
Your letter of the 1st arrived this morning to my great Joy. It

tainments. All the music rooms have an outside window and are very cozy.
The whole building Is to be used for students, whereas formerly
some portion of it was for tenements, occupied by some washerwomen and
stable boys, and the stables were also there. It is hoped that some time
this week the music rooms will be ready for use, and I shall then begin to
practise.
