that she would never make the trip NorthAuntll after It was finished and
yet this is (the, second time she has been over the road since she said
so, and it Is apparently no nearer completion.
I have had two letters from Aunt Maria concerning my visit to
her this Christmas. She says that she does not hear from Aunt Carrie
very often and so does not know how Grandma Is getting along. If she
can not hear, I wonder who will. But if Aunt Maria would give her sister

keep us working hard.
Now that Munma has reached home X hope you will sead the
"testimonials." I thought that X had explained it so that you would under*
stand what X waated you to send. All that is required is a paper from
either a teacher or minister from home. As X have never been to school
In Austin you will have to get them from Mr. Rogers, stating anything he
may choose to about me. But this paper is required, and nearly half the
year has passed aad X have not furnished them. X shall expect three home
each week
letters now Instead of one^and shall look forward to them with so much
pleasure. Next Wed.
