Exhibition! I want to see you very
much during vacation. Can you
go to Stowe with me? I shall
find it impossible to go to
to Morrisville at the close of
the term. I have not been to
the Dr's yet, when I shall I don't
know. I shall be very busy this
Summer. I have some [loose]
ends to bring up, but with my
present health I can do con-
siderable work. Dr. Foote is help-
ing me as usual. If I can get
money to take another course
after this I think I shall feel
[underline]well[/underline]. Please write me within
a week and tell me where you
will be the last of next week and whether
you can come here at our ex-
hibition. I [underline]must[/underline] see you during
vacation or shortly after.

With kind regards to your people
I remain

Your Friend

Henry.

P.S. You need not
send my things
at present,
bring them if you come down.

My Dear Friend -

Your letter was received
last night. I was not expecting it, but I
have been looking for you instead for
a few days. Yet for all this it was welcome
but you would have been more so.
The term is drawing to a close. Next
Saturday sets us free for awhile. The
Summer Term will commence the
16th May. At that time Sophomores
will be expected to appear in public.
The present excitement [deleted]will[/deleted] operates
badly for our performance. Erhardt
& Loomis have already left, and
the rest are too excited to do justice
to themselves. My piece is nearly
completed. I am in hopes to do near-
ly as well as I could under more
favorable circumstances. It is hard
for us to study or do anything but
