p.

I have been reading the Lamplighter
today. I ought to have spent my time
writing, went to Church this forenoon
and was very sleepy there, my sweet room-
mate is diving into her Sabbath School
lesson, and I ought to. The Lamplighter
is the only story I ever read that after
reading I was perfectly satisfied. Do
excuse the haste in which this is written.
Please write to me. Thee knows thee
always has my love, so it may be useless
to be forever repeating it. Shall I bring home
Caesar, I shall not probably read it any
more. We take very short lessons in Latin
but have to get them, thoroughly. I shall
write to James and Jane next time,
tell Jane to have off flirting with Levi.
It is the advice of a friend.
am rather glad he and John could not
agree, I have a beautiful bouquet of
Mountain Laurel. Should like to send some
home. I never saw many before I came here.
Love to all. Write all the news. Farewell
Very affectionately, Ann
