it would do to ask Johnny Hughes to take him up to Gwen's. - Now I remember it, Gwen gave me money to buy her material for a stella shawl. I have not yet found any suitable, and do not think I shall be able to. Annie and I talk of going to Utica tomorrow or next day, but we may not till Friday. I will consult her about the wreath, to see if she thinks it will answer to leave it until you come down. I hope Mary will feel well enough to come with you. Please, as soon as you decide, write as definately as you can about coming down, so that we will know what arrangement to make about David. If you and Mary would come, and so make it real lively here, I think he would be quite contented and it would be just as well for him to wait a week or two. I proposed having Fannie go up with him, if I could not be released, but Mrs. Ellis think two would be too many at a time, and perhaps it would. Annie does not talk as though Many have inquired whether I was going to return next term but I make them nor yet myself no promises, as I failed to do as I intended last term. Write soon I am glad Robbie liked his paper. I hope the children are still well. Love to each of them. Who went to North Pond, Do?, someone wrote me an account of the day's adventures. Love to Pa, and Ma and all from Cynthia.
