My dear Carrie,
Your nice long letter, containing so much news, has Just been
received with Joy. I am sorry you were all so anxious about me, but
sometimes my home letter does not get started far several days after
it is written, and sometimes does not get written as soon as it should.
Please never worry about me, for there is not the least occasion to. I
am perfectly well, and have been all the winter. it seems so nice to
hear about all the people at home, and I only wish I could be with you sometimes when you go visiting, not making fashionable calls, which I detest. I am so seldom at home, that I fear to be forgotten by my old friend. Is Barclay Bell's wife a Philadelphia Lady? It is odd for him to marry, and what a dull time his wife will have at Brushy. Yet don't
you wish we might spend another such week as the one last summer an
Mr. Hurd's ranch? By the way, when is Augusta Palm to be married?
and how does Agnes get along with her little beau? Our Geological trip has at last been arranged. We leave here an Thursday, the twenty-fifth, go right an to Albany, from there to Howe's Cave
where we arrive at six o'clock; remain there part a! Friday and reach
Trenton Falls at six of the some day. Here we stay until Monday, or
perhaps Sunday, the twenty-ninth - Than Lillle Lewis wishes me to
go on with her to Burlington, and this I suppose I should do if you cannot
come on by that time. If you can, don't wait on my account for this visit
Is of no consequence, it would, no doubt, be very pleasant, and I can hardly refuse to go, if you are not on by that time. Yet I scarcely like to lay myself under obligations to so many girls whom I shall probably have no chance to repay. There are quite a number of little things I would like to have you bring on, and will make a short list some day and send you
We have to make oat oar list of studios for next year very soon,
and as usual are in a quandary. Chemistry and German I shall have, but
am hovering between Astronomy and M. Philosophy. The former I think
I shall have, what do you think? I can't bear the thought of being a Senior.
This has been such a charming year and the next will bring with it great
responsibility, and the overwhelming knowledge of how little we know, and are fitted to go out Into tho great world.
With love to all, your loving Julie
