I hope he will for if I dont have any Monocromatic pieces? framed before I go home, I dont know what I shall do with them for I cant carry them very well without frames. Sis, it looks gloomy out doors. it is raining and cold. Jack Frost has been busy all morning adorning the trees and fences: he has got all the trees hung full of his silvery fruit: and has spread a smooth glossy carpet all over the ground. It is very beautiful if it does look rather lonely. Cynthia, I see I cant finish this today, if I try so I may as well give it up. Maybe I shall have something more interesting to tell you tomorrow. I have not got my composition written yet, but I shall have to have it finished before Wednesday.

   Tuesday.____Dear Cynthia, here I am again writing to you. I wonder if you too are not writing to me now. I can but hope so. I do hope I shall have a letter from you soon: you know you have not written to me since you were here. Tell the girls that I love them all, and would like to write to them if I could. Can not Father and Mother make me a visit before the term closes? It seems most too bad if they cant make us one good visit before E. moves away. She will have to leave her house the first of April and that will be, you know, in about five weeks now. I called at Mrs. Bowman's yesterday afternoon with Carry and Laura. We had quite a pleasant time. It was very slippery, and so the girls went clear home with me. If they had not I dont know how I should have got home for it was almost impossible to keep from falling down. This morning it was not quite as slippery but I had one good fall, however, but did not hurt me any. If Father has any money to spare, I should like to have him send me some before I go home as I have not enough to pay my tuition. I have about three dollars now and you know I owe Miss White five dollars besides seven for tuition. Give my love to Margaret and her little boys and all the rest of the folks. I saw Mary Thomas when I was in Utica Saturday she was in Roberts Room for a few minutes. Now Sis, I am sorry I have had to write this with a pencil but could do no better, very well I hope it will be written on left margin readable when it reaches you. When you write tell me how Sarah is wont you Sis? Write to me as soon as you can, and I shall be very much obliged to you. Anna.
