User-Contributed Transcription so I have some on hand now and as I do not know what his bill will be I will write again soon and let you know what I shall want. Do not feel anxious about me. I hope soon to be well, there was nothing particular the matter of me, I did not have any appetite and of course became quite weak, I am now able to eat quite heartily.Thurs. morn. It is a bright lovely day and the young ladies have gone to visit Mt. Holyoke. In your last you advised me to accompany them, but I am not quite strong enough to ascent its lofty side. More than half the school went, some who live near or who have been here before and visited it did not go. They went in two companies, the first started at 6 the other at 8, they expect to return a little after noon. Five carriages went each time and they were all well filled. Harriet has gone and Mary Wright, a young lady from Northampton, very kindly keeps me company until she returns. I felt quite disappointed in not being able to go, but if I return next year I hope to go then. I have told you that we are not allowed to purchase any eatables or drinkable, those who go upon the Mt. have permission to buy what water they may want. It is sold at 3 cents a glass. I am better today and in very good spirits. Wish I could see sister Sarah and the rest of you. Seven weeks more and I hope to hear your voices. I guess you will laugh when you see your rosy chubby daughter, to think she has so lately written to you about being sick. I don't suppose Sarah would think of being ill if she felt as well as I. How is Sarah's health
