few names, Henry P. Jones owes $4.60 for tuition and $1.50 for books; Mrs. Thomas for Lina?, $3.00 Mr. Burkyte, $3.00: Jonathan Jones, $4.75; Edgar Jones' father $1.75 I do not think of any others just now perhaps these are all. How would you like to collect these if you have not done so for 10 per cent commission? That would make nearly $2.00 of your own earning for you the rest pa might keep till it is wanted. We have had a good deal of snow for this place, during the past week but now it is all gone and its "O so muddy!" We have been wanting all day to go out and see about Annas dress but we dread to go. Now it is nearly four o'clock and I must hasten this to a close that I may go. Do you know we have been twelve weeks in Ill. and there are not quite thirty more to be before we hope to be with you all. Our hearts grow sad sometimes when we think how long that will be but we have not much time for sighing. Life presses us close on every side and we must "act in the living present. "
