My dear Cousin [Julia Edith Moor]
This Is a glorious Easter day, and I have been anxious to go to
Church, or out walking, but unfortunately I do not feel very strong and
have been compelled to remain In my room - So between reading and
dosing I shall amuse myself answering your letter, which was received
with pleasure a few days since - Really the spring weather has affected
me, for I am very lazy or tired - I can't exactly tell which.

I dislike to confess the former, and I won't think the latter, as it might be a slur on Vassar - Our holidays began last Tuesday, Just in time for all of us, who need rest after the long cold winter.
Quite a number of girls are staying, and two or three of my Class-
mates whom I know well so that the time passes pleasantly with us together.
Yesterday afternoon we found that the Marionettes puppet show was to be
in the city, and as anything in the shape of entertainment is gladly seised
upon here, several of us decided

to go and see them - We took some of the Professors children with us, and had a Jolly time. I suppose you have seen the puppets, but it was a new experience to me, and I was almost as thoroughly amused as the children, who went into ecstasies- The "Babes in Wood" was particularly ludicrous.
You ask of Carrie's wedding and presents. The wedding was very
quiet, only about thirty being present, and the whole affair and my visit
passed so quickly that it seems now like a dream. I find myself frequently

on the point of directing her letter to Carrie Pease - Her presents were
not very numerous - In silver she had sugar bowl, creamer, molasses jug,
butter plate, a pretty cake basket and card receiver. I think that was about the extent. I hope Carrie will come on this summer with Papa and Mamma,
and think that she will. Shall you go to Poquonok early? I think we will go
there Immediately after Commencement and wish you could be there at the
same time. Of course you have as yet no arrangements for next winter,
but I wish very much that you

would spend part of it at least with me - Carrie hopes to go to housekeeping then and I should love dearly to have you with me. Do think about it -
Think I had better go now and dress for tea, as I have been sitting
so far in my wrapper - Please write me whenever you can.
Remember me to your father, and accept loads of love yourself
from your aff- Cousin
