Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription One surely feels better after such a walk as this. It imparts to him new life, as it were, it gives freshness to his feelings and if he is in any degree capable of being influenced by what is passing around him, such a view of the beauties of nature, and of the glorios rising sun, together with the joyful music of the feathered tribe, can hardly fail to make him a better and happier being. Enough of this, you will say.You will see that this is dated at Winchester. I am now attending the Chesh Co. Teachers' Institute under the instruction of Mr. Goldsbury.The Institute was opened on Wednesday last, by a short address from A. H. Bennett, Esq. and another from Mr. Goldsbury. He said among other things, that the way he should train us in his favorite branches, Reading and Grammar, would be a caution, and by the way he has begun I should think he told us the truth. There are so many, however, that he cannot do as he would like to.There are now in attendance 85. 11 Males, and 74 Females, among whom are Miss L.T. Bowker, and Miss C. Davis tow of your former pupils, and Miss Helen M. Wheeler & Miss L. W. Harris of Chesterfield.More are expected next week.
