I sigh and long for happy days like those, again. But a sad requiem has sounded, as the March of Time has wafted two times and almost three years to my notice, and duty calls me to the alarm of a change of vocation. But, Miss K., I had rather be a student than anything Else. To be a student I would freely undergo the difficulty of pronunciation in French - Latin verbs and nouns, and almost anything in the shape of Study. My Schooldays have Ended with an unfinished Education--much regretted. There is a great deal of ignorance in this country, and So I cannot Enjoy myself here like I could at Marietta. I have done nothing yet in the way of Speaking, but Expect to soon. Miss Kendall, who were your French Scholars? How did they get along? I wish I could finish French for I liked the study. I wish you to tell me if the French Colloquy was spoken, and how it went off. How do you get along in Music? What Scholars played at the Examination? What kind of music and who else played at the Exercises. I'd almost give a $1000 could I have been there Now, does the baby grow much? I would like to see it very much. How do the Weavers do, and what their progress in Study and Music? Give them my regards. You have lost a splendid scholar---Miss Pollock alias Mrs. Peters. Now I think, if the "Reverend" had finished his Latin any Greek he might have been ready to marry. But "so goes the world". But as this is a tender subject I'll "drop" it. We have a female school in Greencastle but I fear, -- a poor thing. They turn off graduates, but how far their graduation Extends, I am unable to say. But I guess, not far. I shall attend the College Exams next Wednesday.

                                        Miss Kendall I should like to hear from my old school teacher; so if you will write me I will write more next time certain. I Expect to be in your city in Sept.; and then ___ ___?
                               I am, Miss Kendall, very Resp. your old Student & Friend CC.Sutter
