User-Contributed Transcription like day it is. Our sleighing is fast disappearing. There are about as many wagons as sleighs out. I hope it will snow again before school closes. Mr. Palmer, one of our teachers, lost a sister this week. He has just returned from the funeral. It seems hardly possible that the time is so near for me to be at home with my dear parents and those I love so well. O, how impatient I sometimes become of space, for keeping my dear ones so far away! Why was this world made large, and we so small, so slow of movements? But I rejoice that I am not placed alone in some desolate corner of this great world. I have very kind friends around me here. There is nothing like a little sorrow, or a little sickness to test the truthfulness of friends. There are some here from whom I shall sadly grieve to part, but there are dear sweeter faces waiting to welcome
