Wednesday afternoon,

What shall [I?] do? Write immediately
for I have not answered [H.U.?]'s yet, I do not
want to, He says that after he has educated me
he will! I may pay my expenses when I have
earned the money. I do not want to go
until Fall. [Finnie?] thinks I had better go
to the commencement of the term.

Mr. B thinks that I should not need to
be there more than a year. - I, myself
do not want to go until the middle
of May., when I think perhaps I [had?]
better, - Write immediately what the
thinks I had better, do, if I had
better leave here and go at the beginning
of the term, or at the end of [?]
when I think I had better, or
wait until next fall; I should stay
at home about a week and go about the
15th of May, and would fix my [sloth's?]
some, I am doing well here and do
not much want to leave,
[A?]
