Dear Mother.
I am so tired I can hardly sit up this evening but I know you will be anxous to hear of my welfare so I will exert myself to write a few words at least. You will of course e'er this imagine we are here all right without further information on my part. We suceeded very well in making all the changes and hardly suffered from the cold at all. The only place where I was really uncomfortable was
comfortable and 1 am now in the library and Emily studying near. They hope to have it arranged in a few days so that we may be more comfortable but as it now is it add still more to the lonesome, homesick feeling which I will this once at least confess to be very strong. Oh Mother I can hardly realise yet that I have left you for so long except by the choking sensation which has been in my throat all day and which
do me no good and make you feel worse. I have beea studying this after-
noon and expect to go in my classes though 1 can't expect my lessons will
be very well prepared for X am so tired that I must go to bed now. I hear
Anna Dickinson lectured in P— last week so X shall be disappointed in
that. Please send that Photo of myself which I promised Mary Cornell as I forgot it and she has asked for it. Please write soon and as much as you can for my letters will be my greatest consolation. Love to Aunt
Emily and all enquiring friends and believe
Your ever loving daughter

Mollie wanted me to send ever so much love to you all when I wrote.
