I was very much gratified when I received your kind
letter but have not had time to answer it. I have been going to
school constantly and I am obliged to study hard to keep up in my
classes. I suppose Ma has told you that I have left Mr. Carter's
and am going to the Misses Hull's Academy on Fayette St. In your
last letter to Ma you speak of coming to see us either the last
of this month or the first of next. Do not fail to come and to
come soon for I want to see you very much.
You have doubtless heard of the American victory achieved
in this State at the last election. It was celebrated by a grand
torchlight procession on Wednesday night nearly every house in
our neighborhood was illuminated and flowers were seen in great
profusion; the procession was very long and said to be the finest
in our city ever witnessed we are all well except Grand Pa who
has been very sick but is now able to sit up.
My love to Uncle Smith and all and do not forget to
write soon to your affectionate
