Friday, October [?] My dear Sister Sarah: Henry brought his letter to Jane up here yesterday afternoon that I might write a little to put in it, but I could not find time to do so until now. I hope you will forgive me for my negligence in writing now this term. I have not written but three letters before this, and I have received one and four notes. I have not been to the Post Office for a good while now because I did not expect to get anything: I suppose I have left it too long without calling, but I shall try to go oftener after this. I see Henry has spoken about my coming here next term; what do you think of it? I should like to come if Father and Mother think it best. Henry thinks Mary is not going to Hadley this year, but if she intends to go, I will, of course stay home with you: She must not let my desire for coming here hinder her. for I do not wish to come if she is going. -- I should like to go home tomorrow and stay till Monday very much if it could be so, but it cannot, at present
