Vassar College,
April 2. 1875.
My dear Carrie,
Have made my much talked of trip to N.Y. and now upon
returning am greatly disappointed at finding no letter from you here to
greet me. As Papa was not well when Mamma wrote last, I fear he may
still be ill. Alice Graham, Miss Connor, and myself went to the city on Wednesday afternoon, staying at a "bath hotel" as it is called. It is a sort of water care establishment, and a good place, indeed almost the only place, where ladies without baggage can

My dear Carrie,

stop. Isn't it a shame that men should laugh at us poor women for carrying about so many trunks, and then when we abolish them and take shawl-straps, admittance to a hotel is denied us. As the sitting for pictures
was our special business, we went about it Thursday, I being the only one

so I suppose I am - We looked around Stewarts and of course
saw some nice goods and ready made dresses, and Alice Graham bought a
pretty decent gimpun sack for twenty five dollars - My great purchase
was an album. It Is a neat and pretty one, holding over a hundred, and price eight dols- It seems albums are going out of style, hence the price. So now I am still in possession of twelve dollars, and am trying to decide what I shall get with it. There are so many things upon which I have my eyes, that a decision is no light task - Such a

lovely "Holy Family" can be had for $15 that I think I shall wait until my store increases. This picture is by a German artist, Carl Muller, and was painted quite recently, giving our modern ideas of the Madonna. Numerous sixes of photographs of it can be had, but I want the larger sine.
Vacation does not end till next Wednesday, so we are still going
to have some days of rest. The Senior year jcme line obliterated, so
little, and seem not able to do more- Will be about as glad as sorry when
the year is over - Commencement is the 24th of June - I hear the rain
pattering on the roof, and can almost fancy it summer, it is so warm this
evening - With loads of love your little sister -
