this week has been wholly taken up with Mrs. Nonna's Reunion, of graduate a quarter century celebration. invitations + circulars have been sent to all whose addresses could be found + they came from far + near, about 150 in all, had several meetings, Histories? of classes, letters from the absent?, and some speeches, a dinner a party, and a reception, all seemed to enjoy the entertainment, Mrs Nonna pleased and the affair quite a success. Matty? Hanna is to be married next week, to a Secular preacher, and there is rumor that Mrs Hanna has a beau! I won't vouch for that- much love to you all, dear Johnny, your loving Mother, O yes, about the dogs ?, well, didn't I say I dared? to think it was rather low business, but I know you would not do anything that was low or mean, I would not say that I would not like a smart handsome dog
