Dear Sisters, Jennie's letter with the $5. came last evening. I hope you did not cramp yourselves. We will try to keep it to pay John Eddie's fare to N.Y. We are trying to pay up some little bills that were left, as we can. Robbie paid us another $5. making $10. since we came from Turin, and Mrs. J.R. Griffiths paid us for the Spring bed they had. So you see we have a little coming. How do you get along? We are a little disappointed to hear that the schools begin quite so soon. We shall miss J.E. so much. We went yesterday to see Ellen Davies and had a nice time. Tomorrow we intend to go to Camp Meeting. We have invited Laura to ride with us. Carroll has

top margin: make her visit pleasant if she should come now. J.E. says that the announcement of the opening of the school is to be published in the N.Y. dailies for Sept. 1st — so please get one, and find out for certain. Do you want us to send any thing with him? Have you heard any thing more from cousin Lizzie Williams? Our baby was three weeks old yesterday. Libbie is getting along pretty well, but is not very strong — she had a very tedious hard time when she was sick her mother has been with her since Monday — went home today. They expect to get along alone the rest of this week. Mrs. Hughes
