Norman Cary 1865

I am better since my teeth are out, though I look funny without them. To-day, is scorchingly hot. The thermometer stands at 85.0 in my closed room, and at 90.0 in Maggie's room with the windows open, & blinds closed. I send you my check for Twenty Five Dolls. As to the Photo's I should rather they would indicate your appearance when you entered the Academy than when you left. At Yale, we will have them both on entering and leaving Deo volente. They must answer for the class as we cannot afford a second set. Save all you can, as I want some. I sent one to Uncle Louis and he was delighted. I shall send him one of our family group, and I have a spare one. All well and send
