I have been up in the nursery, or in Mrs. Kelloggs room, as they sometimes call it, and I staid up there I guess about two hours and a half; that is not all either, for I was threading needles most half of the time, don't you think I was smart. They were sewing on a carpet and I threaded needles for them, it was the next thing to sewing it myself, was it not? I did not go out today it rained so, indeed, it has been so unpleasant all this week that I have only been out once. When the weather becomes pleasant and settled I hope to gain faster. -- Oh, say Jennie, do you remember how you laughed at me for asking you to get me that silk braid to tie up my hair. Well I sent for another yard today, that that you got is so warm? and that it will hardly keep my hair up. I know it looked like looking ahead a good way to send for it then, my hair was so short, but it has grown so, it is quite decently long now. I can hardly see it is so dark, as you may think from these crooked lines. ______ Friday morning. -- Good morning, Jennie, how do you do this cold morning, and how is our dear Mary? Both feeling as well and as happy as I do, I hope. John left early this morning, about five o"clock. He came into my room to bid me good bye before I was hardly awake. It is quite early yet, about half past six. I wonder what you are doing at this hour mourning? because you cannot sleep longer perhaps?
