Perry letters

Sunday Morning Sept. 13 1896 Dearest :Sharing a little leisure just before Church begins I thought I would sit down and write you a few lines as an apology to my poorly written letter of the 11th. inst. x x x x x x x This is a beautiful spot that we have selected for our home. I have one of the best rooms in the house, for it, contains three large bay windows facing the street and admitting a flood of light. We are

situated in a community called College Terrace. About a mile away, just above the tops of a few trees that surround the stables of the Stanford estate can be seen the slanting adobe roofs of the University buildings. It is quite a long and dusty walk over to the "quad," as the Inadrangle is called, but fortunately I have a wheel and can easily go to and fro to school. In fact, I don't know what I'd do if I did not have a wheel for I can go from building to building in quarter the time that my less fortunate

companions can. Thursday evening I attended a prayer meeting of the Y. M. C. A. held in on the rooms at the University. Since I have been here I have been greatly benefitted spiritually by the little services held in the chapel each morning and as long as I am able to I shall continue to attend them. This morning I am going to the M. E. Church in Mayfield and this evening I intend to visit the Y. M. C. A. praise service

held at the College. So altogether I guess I am doing as you told me to; being a good boy. Well, I guess I must close now as I hear the neighboring Church bell ringing, so with love to all, I remain, Your affectionate son, F. Jewell

P. S. It is strange that I have not heard from Miss Grigsly yet. If you find any mail sent me at home kindly readdress it at once to the University. Write often and tell all to write to me. F. J.

any news from the city.

Furthermore, in regards to my health: I am in the best of health, and with the exception of the annoying mosquito bites with which my arms and hands and face are literally covered I feel fine. Hard work evidently agrees with me. I am also taking exercise in the gymnasium three times a week.

You say you want me to board for a time. Well, if I should do so it would cost $25 including my books.

As it is now it will only cost about $18 or less, although this month may cost more = see page 2 =

Monday Afternoon, Sept. 14, '96. Dearest:-- Having a little time just before school, I thought I would write you a short letter. I have just received your very welcome letter, and was quite pleased to hear from home. Oft - times and I think of home and the pleasant life I spent there, I say pleasant, for I little realized then the happiness of my lot, I get home sick and long to be with you.

Several times Saturday and Sunday, I was on the point of putting on my
