ever before since she has Benn here. There were 4 who spoke to her last week about taking lessons in music & we expect them in next week. For a while her prospects looked rather dubious. I really hope she will do well for I think she richly deserves success. We need her assistance in school, but as she has gifted herself for a music teacher she would like scholars enough to keep her busy in that department, & I think & hope she will get them. We had a letter from Lydia this morning ate at Petersham. I was very glad to learn that she was teaching there. I think, mother, we have reason to be thankful, that we have all unclear with as good success as we have.
