My dear Carrie (written in German script),
Just now, oar wee bit of a letter has reached me, for which I am
you truly thankful. You know, "small favors are thankfully fee." I quite envy your lessons in German, for I am just crazy to begin it. You do not say where Mrs. Keupfer is living. Do you have to ride away out to Mr.
Studors beautiful roofless cottage. If so, the ride om pleasant days, must
be as delightful as the lessons.

Let me advise you, Carrie, if ever you come here not to take Literature, it is a slow mode of death. The rack would be infinitely preferable, for that could only continue days while and from this months only bring relief.
I count on my fingers four essays already written, and no one knows
how many more are yet to come. The harrowing thoughts of those to come,
and the shame felt for those already finished,—is not this a dreadful
picture—But joking aside, I hate Literature and wish, by some means,

I will send the belt as soon as I can make a trip to town and get it.
Please forgive me for no telling you before the proportion of oil

I send two of my photographs which you will please give, with my affectionate regards, to Emily and Aunt Folly. You remember telling me that they were desirous to have them.
