said she thought about it? great deal and wanted to come in the day but ? was not well enough.

             They had ? "melting time" at Miss Call's school yesterday (the last day) I conclude. Poor Lucy could hardly keep from tears all the afternoon. I thought she would feel better to be employed, so we went to baking. It is not strange that she feels bad - she has become very much attached to two or three of the girls - you know she never was acquainted with any girls that she really liked - kindred spirits - before, and now to lose them again so soon seems hard. She will write to her Mother soon all about it - she will have more time now. Perhaps Anna will take her in too with regard to her studies next winter. Yesterday P.M.Lucy prepared beans, brown bread & white, while I made five pies, and a batch of doughnuts & I say by the table and did the whole, then moved my chair to the stove & fried them. I also in the course of the day made up my new underbed. You recollect Mrs. Stowe says of "Marie" that when talkings of the troubles her slaves gave her, she always seemed to be "wonderfully supported"
