Sissie dear,

  I wrote a line to Anna this morning so I suppose it is your turn tonight though hers was so short. I must send her a longer one soon. you believe they were glad to see me back. They seem just as if they were. I am sure I was glad enough to see Laurie? and the rest of my friends. I wonder what you are doing now, it is most half past seven, are you washing the dishes or have you had your supper long ago. How is Ma?? is she rested after Devotion? and P too, and Anna and John, Eddy, cousin Elizabeth, and our dear friend Sarah? How do you like unclear write and letters. How is Aunt Sarah? Is she at our house now? Have you written to sister Sarah since I left there? write to her tonight I expect to write soon, Am very busy now, resting and studying too a little. I feel nicely today I am trying to be very careful not to get sick again. Laurie is not very well now she has a pain in her head. some cold she has taken excitement and loneliness of the past week have not done her any good & fear but hope
