User-Contributed Transcription I haven't worn my bonnet on the hill yet. They keep all the grand fixings till Cwrdd mawr. They are so old fashioned here, and dress very plain. In church we see jockeys of every description, some looking a good deal worse than mine, some better, shakers, hoods, bonnets three and four yrs. old with style and shade to match. I haven't seen but one stylish bonnet such a Capel Ucha girls wear, since I've been here, and that was ever so much too small. Mrs. Roberts and her mother-in-law wear shakers, but expect to have bonnets against the big meeting, but if you should come up here, you needn't say that I told you all such trifling news. Thank you for the papers you sent. I was amused to notice the styles of hats in Wales. not very unlike ours, were they? Here they wear Sea=side hats and the round crown mostly. I like them both. I think I've only seen 2 flat top, like mine, but I like mine very much. Are you going to the commencement? When is it? There is to be a teachers institute (Semi annual meeting) in the Pres. church, Turin, the same day as our big meeting up here. Isn't that too bad? I want to attend both. I think Ill go to the teacher's meeting at least half the day I'm not growing thin now, so don't worry. I did lose some pounds at first but I'm up to 114 again. When shall we see you? Cynthia
