have been here that then has been snow enough to make good sleighing - it had fallen the day before- people were improving it right merrily- during the night of Sat. a storm of rain came on, Sunday, the streets were almost impassable on foot for the water and ice. Mond it was nothing but deep mud:- a pretty fair specimen of this climate in the winter. I have been carried to and from school a good many days, story at noon always both on account of the distances and short intermission- 1 hour. I feel quite domesticated at my boarding place have meat every morning for breakfast, sometimes for supper, room with Mariette? the daughter, it is a large square chamber with three closets- one for my use- two beds, two dressing tables some hanging book shelves, a bureau a handsome home made yarn carpet plenty of water as unclear? and last, not least, a drum and funnel heated from the room below so that I can be alone whether I choose, I have already read more than the three months at Racine, have nearly finished Hannah More which is very good, have commenced Griffillan?, have read few characters or rather heard read, for the 'young man' has read it loud to us evenings:- he left in the stage last eve, for the West to be gone two months on business, carried 2000 dolls. to buy hides, will probably visit Racine,.-
