no malicious criticising and fault finding as in days of yore. I have time to write but little for these are busy days. I teach a class in Oriental Painting on Saturdays three or four hours. This is on my "own hook" but it makes my time pretty well occupied. Jennie I have never received a picture of your face which was promised me when I gave up a little photograph of the same. I wish I could have it again. I breakfasted this morning at 5 1/2 o'clock with the early risers so as to get time to write some letters but the morning is fast gliding away, and I must hasten to prepare for school. Our new building is a very pleasant one. We take possession of it to day as a school but do not go there to live until the Holidays... I cannot write more now and will not delay this which is only to assure you that you are not forgotten - Write me soon as you can - May God bless you and guide you evermore - Love a dear Mary Aff yours Fanny Stearns Bound Brook Dec. 2d - 56.
