will be that supply, when compared with my necessities, you see I shall get $50.00, or $60, dollars from my school, and I ought certainly to carry as much as that to Brunswick with me, to pay all my bills and start me there, without thinking anything of the next term, or indeed of any thing else; and then I truly need about as much as that to clothe me decently. It is astonishing how destitute I am, I believe I never was quite so much before. I have no clothes fit to wear into the school room hardly, much more to go into the city, to meeting, or any ?. I dont hardly know how I do get along. I believe I never was disposed to think much of the future or of the past, if the present only slipped along easily; and lately it seems that I am strangely indifferent to the present also, that is as far as regards all external circumstances. In fact I believe I live too much in myself and am affected by other things of any sort.

   Wed. Eve After Writing School

I was very much gratified tonight on coming home from school to find a bundle from home, left by Mr. Coutts; as it happened I needed it considerable, in the matter of shirts.

 By the way, I dont believe I have got shirts enough, if I should stay at Brunswick till next winter, & you know it would not be very easy to send; and, if there is any cloth at home suitable it would be a good plan to have some made, I wish some of those old narrow bosoms of which there are so many could be fastened on to some shirts if they could, there would be plenty of bosoms & collars, I guess; and I dont know about stockings.
