My dear Sister,
Your letter written a week ago was received this morning with
delight. I can imagine you starting off on Prince, "little fattie on fattie" as you say Dr. Phillips calls you as equestrienne.
You mention a young man (I cannot make out his name) who is
acquainted with a cousin of Ida Whitman. Is this cousins name Taylor?

My dear Sister,

heard so much of Mame Taylors brothers that it seems almost as If I knew them. I doubt not Austin will have parlors enough, and would like to have a peep at some of them. Cliffie Loverin told me, one day, that her father thinks of moving to Austin to live. Don't you think she would be an acquisition to our society?

Cliffie, although a really good scholar, has not ambition enough to study outside of school hours.
Remember me to Mr. and Mrs. Levancoat, if they at are, in
Austin when this reaches you. You know I never did consider him so
dreadful a man as many
This week I rec'd a letter from Susie Townsend. Do you think they
are well satisfied at home? It must be very pleasant for you to have them
to visit. I do like the girls so much. There is something so quiet and
restful about them, that It makes me feel better to have been in their
company. I hope

you and Mamma are not working too hard in your ambition to get the house in order. Susie told me you had been out very little since your return.
There must certainly be something in a name, else why should all
the poor forlorn youths pitch upon me as the one with whom they desire a
correspondence.
This morning I rec'd a letter from a youth in Madison Wis. to the
same effect. I thought the first one of the sort which came was amusing,
but It is getting to be an old story now. This is the second this year. I
know there is something I wish either to
