that they will be much easier to learn. Then he and Mrs Tenney urged us to sit down and stay with them a while so we were soon enjoying the luxury of easy seats and a pleasanter half hour I have hardly ever passed. I sat near Mrs Tenney and talked almost entirely with her. She was very pleasant indeed. She said she thought this a very nice place for scholars and Professors but for Prof's wives it was rather lonesome. I told her she must come and see me and she promised to do so. She has one little girl about eight years old and a little boy 20 months old. He was the smartest little fellow I most ever saw and they both seemed very fond of him as of course they would be. He could tell the names of all the animals his Father showed him and as the Prof, said had got just about as far as we have in the class. That is to say, the names of orders, classes, etc. They seemed quite anxous to have us come again and I shall love to do so most dearly for It seemed the most like home of any place I had been In since I left my own. I did not Intend to write so much when I commenced for I do not think you deserve a very long letter as I have not heard from you since the first of last week but I have been led on from one subject to another. I must stop now in order to dress for dinner. I hope X shall have a good long letter from you soon and dont Father have any time to write. I love to hear from him so much. I told Louise to tell you about sending my Besique cards.
