As I wrote to Mother in my last
I will spend a portion of this
vacation in New Haven, so as to
prepare more thoroughly for the
approaching biennial examination
But I will call on the girls in
Philadelphia. Mace wishes to spend
the vacation with his school mates.
he may a part of it, but I think
I will take him to Philad with
me, but for a short time tho!
I have not heard lately either
from Philad or California, but hope
soon to get letters. I have two
kind letters from dear Mother
which I'll answer on Sunday.
I have little news to give you--the
time passes very agreeably to me.
I am going to night to a sort of ongoing
ladies benevolent society
& expect to enjoy myself moderatly.
Lectures & concerts ( very occasionally
diversifying my rare visits to other ladies)
and the ordinary run of college exercises.
