My Dear Parents,

Your letter reached
me in good season, and like all your
communications received a hearty welcome. I was
quite surprised to see the well known hand
of my mother, but that only served to make
the letter more valuable. The more I think
of you my dear parents, the more I value
my home. Have thought about coming home
but have come to the conclusion that I
cannot. It would so break in upon my
studies and put me farther back than I
know now. Then the expense would be
considerable also. The few remaining weeks
will soon fly away, each one brings me
nearer tho end. Entered the class week
ago monday. Am get some ways behind,
but gaining gradually. There is another
young man who entered the class a fort-
night before I did, with whom I study.
We find it profitable to get together; they
push us pretty hard and we have to bend
