when you come home. Good night. affectionately Sis Lucy. Mother says bring home whatever needs fixing, of your clothes. Sat. Feb. 8 Harry Wilkins has been here today to engage me to go & teach school two months in "Hobstown" as Jo calls it 9/ per week. I ought to have had 10/6 but feared I should lose the chance if I asked it, Eliab has, as he says, got his name up I guess- but I am afraid he will meet with difficulty before he gets through this time. He has written you about it, I suppose.
