Dear Sister Cynthia; Your very welcome letter was brought to the house this forenoon. I was very glad to learn that you were getting along so comfortably at home. Suppose you are busy now with unclear. Wish I could help you. There is no preparatory course of lectures, so I am having a good time to rest and get everything arranged. I cannot help feeling badly to think that the girls might have waited to see Br. Butler after all. It is better for me of course, to have had a good time getting ready, and to be here a little while before. Still I I rec'd the umbrella and parasol all right, thank Jennie. Mr. G. rec'd the bags a few minutes before I got them. Mr. Francis was unwilling to check them but said they would go all right.
