me a Peucinian, as he is a member of that society.

  I have been the past week with a Mr. Baker Wm. W a sophomore, just come from Waterville, Belfast fellow.  He is a good clever fellow, a beneficiary, stout, slow, but perhaps strong, might make a good chum, without being a very popular student.
   I have bought me a cap, same material as Josephs', but large, big top, & fixed off, quite a cap, for $1,00. Bought at Griffin, the College Monopolist.  Guizot $1,10, French grammar, 70, Cic. Sen. Am, 55, Hom Iliad 1,15.  Total of $3,50 on term bill.  Legendses Geometry I bought second hand for $.50, price 1.25.  I ought to have brought Boyer with me.  New one costs $2,25, borrowed Newton for this term.  Our duties are, Bell about ? page torn  Prayers in the little old crowded chapel.  Recitation, ? page torn weekly, Cic. Am. Latin, & Homer Greek, Latin is very easy, & Greek will be when get underweigh. Next, BreakfastAnn spoken & Homer Greet Latin is very easy, Green will be when get underweigh, next, Breakfast 
 At 9, Study hours, everyone required to be in rooms. 11, Rec, in Geometry, very easy so far.  Dinner 2, Study hours, 4 French, on which Prof. Goodwin drills us till prayer bell, double time, about.  This is the hardest study to me.  Drives hardest.  probly because I lost 3 or 4 lessons, which it is very difficult to gain, that is the instructions of Prof. G at recitations.  Pronouncing & cogitating verbs I think hard.  (grows easier very fast)

On the whole I am getting on finely & expect to. I am very much obliged to Ann for her loan, under the circumstances might have been short without it. I hope you will all take pains & write.
