Dear Carrie,
The girls are trying to make me turn around and talk to

have done nothing but mourn that we were not born a few years later that we might have gone to Smith College under his Presidency- I would love to hear him preach every Sunday, and to be In his Mental Class would be bliss -
Isn't Mr. Killough somewhat smitten? He seems to be a constant
visitor at the house, and this can scarcely be entirely due to his fondness

to be marrying. When I mentioned Mr. Brockenbrough in connection with Annie
Dewy to her cousin. Miss Moffett, she said, "Oh no, SAnnie would never

talked with them a while, and with a peculiar youth, to whom Fannie Swan introduced me. By the way, Capt. Roberts and Nannie are now on Governors Island where they hope to remain through the winter. Fannie wants me to go down some Saturday with her and make them a visit, and Nannie has sent us an invitation. If we have our Class pictures taken In New York, perhaps I shall do so. Nannie is perfectly miserable they say. At last I have thought to send those designs for houses. If I see any
