I am going to tell them so when I write to them. I have been writing with a pen this shape pen--image o dear I have made a great blot on the pen but I can take it of with my bloting paper. there it is off, well it was that shape, but now I am writing with a pen this shape pen--image only larger. I have written a good deal but I have not told you much news yet.I will see if I can tell you a little. there is not much going on here any way so I don't know as I can think of any thing now.

My uncle William sent me a Splendid Beautiful Portnonie by Pa and Lizzie when they came home it is blue velvet with blue and gold. it is time for dinner and I must close, you see I have written my page to you though I am afraid it is not very interesting.
