My dear Grandmother:-
X was very glad to get your letter; you are oae of the
host correspondents 1 hare, you answer sooaer then anyone else.
In spite of your rheumatism, and always write alee, long letters.
The Jasmins you sent Is Just as fragrant as It eaa be still, X am
very much obliged lor It X wish the children would write to me.
I should like very much to have letters from them, and I would answer
them too. I had a visit from mother week before last, which I enjoyed
very much, and which she said ahe did too. X expect to spend next
Sunday ** home. I will tell yoa a secret, only you mustn't let either
mother or father know a word of It. Toa know the photograph of mother,
Just the head, which Kurta took. Well, X am going to enlarge that, and
make it life-site, and do It In India-Ink, as a Christmas present lor
lather. Bat they are neither ol them to know anything about It. Don't
you think that will please him? I am delighted with the Idea, and am
going to begin tomorrow.
How Is Rose Sickels? Does she seem any more cheerful, I suppose not,
as the time of Mary's and her mother's death is coming near. Do yoa
th&k she would like it, If X should write to her? X feel rather shy of
her, as X don't know what It is to suffer the loss she has had, and I can't
talk to her about Mary, and X feel as if It would be almost mocking her
Oct. 17, 1869 - 21
to toll about all the good times I have bean having*
X am very busy drawing now, and I like it very much; X go over to the
studio lor an hour and a half every day, and draw from plaster-casts
of V^T^g and feat, aad so forth* X like the shsritwg part ever so match,
when X can see a hand getting round and looking mora like a hand from
day to day*
X know Miss Wicuersham by sight* and have been Intending already last
year to call on her, as she seems to expect ma to do so, as X em In a
higher class. Tha "Partial Collegiate" Course is a polite way of saying
aha is a Preparatory, aad hopes to be a Freshmen next year.
Give my love to grandpap, Aunt Emma aad the children, and to the
Carey family* With much love for yourself, and hoping your Rheumatism
is not so bad, I remain
