My dear Sister Sarah:

   Henry brought his letter to Jane up here yesterday afternoon that I might write a little to put in it, but I could not find time to do so until now.  I hope you will forgive me for my negligence in writing now this term.  I have not written but three letters before this, and I have received one and four notes.  I have not been to the Post Office for a good while now  because I did not expect to get anything:  I suppose I have left it too long without calling, but I shall try to go oftener after this.  I see Henry has spoken about my coming here next term; what do you think of it?  I should like to come if Father and Mother think it best.  Henry thinks Mary is not going to Hadley this year, but if she intends to go, I will, of course stay home with you:  She must not let my desire for coming here hinder her.  for I do not wish to come if she is going. --  I should like to go home tomorrow and stay till Monday very much if it could be so, but it cannot, at present
