My Deer Parents.
I do not intend to write you very much to night as I shall see you so soon I trust and it will be so much pleasanter to talk. I received Mothers welcome letter yesterday in which she desired me to let you know Just when we will be there. I can tell you now exactly I think.

I do not intend to write you very much to night as I shall see you so soon I trust and it will be so much pleasanter to talk. I received Mothers welcome letter yesterday in which she desired me to let you know Just when we will be there. I can tell you now exactly I think. The College exercises will close Tuesday afternoon and vacation commence Wednesday. We expect to leave here Tuesday evening and

go as far as Newburg where we will remain all night and take the train early Wednesday morning for Chester and so get home Wed. evening. And I wish you would see Mr. Dana and be sure that he does not go off and leave us at Owego as I should not at all like to stay there Wednesday night from any hurry of his. I think we shall get along all right for Prof. Farrar has telegraphed for rooms for us at Newburg. I have been up this evening to bid Hattie Mason good-bye as she is to go tomorrow morning at six o'clock. Emily and I got permission of Miss Lyman Friday to go to the city and make some calls. We rode down in the omnibus and called first at Mrs. Booths but she was not at home., then we went to Mrs Bartlett's. We had a very pleasant call. Mr. Bartlett said

he had thought of coming out to call on us that afternoon & as we had
said we were going to walk back he proposed accompanying us. We had a very pleasant walk and I did not get as tired as I expected. Mr Bartlett and perhaps Mollis will meet us Tues. eve. at the dpot. Mr Bartlett can not go with us now hut he thinks perhaps he will be in Ithaca before the Holiday's are over if the people of Trumansburg want him. He wanted to know if he came the last week of vacation if I would wait until Monday for his company. I did'ent say certainly but I rather think I gave him the impression I would if he would come. I don't know. We had a very pleasant time last evening, but I will tell you about that when I get home as well as about the concert we expect to have

In haste your loving daughter
Ellen.
