5 must not suppose from this that we go all the time - O no! we only go one in a while. And then it seems so good to me to be out of school. It seems to me more that I never shall want to teach again, but I suppose I shall have to some time. I should have enjoyed a "small school" at your home" as well as any where if I had been there, but I guess the little boys will learn fast enough if they dont fo to school just yet. No Eva does not go to school - and I hardly think she will another summer. She can read some stories. She does not read any regular lesson. But just what she wants to, and we read to her. She gets little books from The Sunday School Library that she's much interested in and we read then, to her - She does'nt have any regular reading or spelling exercise or any thing, only what she happens to take up in her own head. She gets quite and idea of numbers from her Tivoli boards. I have drawn a pattern of one for you and also of Fox & Geese and Morris. You will find them quite and amusement for the little boys, they are quite easily made. If I was there I'd like to help you make them. But you and Mr Kendall will find no difficulty in making them. The game of Tivoli you you will find quite useful in helping them get an idea of numbers. If I have not written explicitly enough in regard to the games you can make enquiries by letter you know. But I don't think you'll find any difficulty in understanding them. We felt quite relieved to hear from Charles. I had worried so much about him. I was feeling quite uneasy. I'm glad the report from him is so favorable. Chandler and I have both written him and sent our Photographs - I hope he will be well there and successful. I think little Walter must be a great cofort to him. I have recieved a long letter from Cousin Nora. They all arrived in Springfield Ill. quite safely. Aunt Wright bore the journey remarkably. Aunt and Cousin Oscar liked there but Oscar's wife and Cousin Nora some homesick I should guess.
