User-Contributed Transcription South Hadley June 12, 1850Dear Parents:It seems a long, lonely time since last I heard from you. I know not why it is, but whenever the interval between your letters is a little lengthened, sadness creeps over my spirits and nestles down on my heart. I am a strange creature, I must confess, thus to let every little delay chase away my smiles, especially when I know how much you always have to occupy your time, but it is nothing more than you should expect to have one oddity among so many sons and daughters. I have not been very well for the two last weeks and perhaps I feel more childish than usual just now. I am getting better now and I hope to resume my duties again next monday. the Dr. says so if I gain as fast as I have. I have not been into school exercises since a week last friday. I was not much sick but did not feel able to study. I do not take any medicine now, the Dr. came to see me yesterday he said that I was 50 per cent better than when he saw me the last time (Thurs. eve). The Dr. has been to see me five times in all, shall not have to see him again unless I am worse. I suppose I shall need some more money to pay the expense of my illness. I have not spent much of that last you sent
