User-Contributed Transcription like if you can, that you would send me a little money as I am almost out. I shall need to get a botany the commencement of the term and I have not enough to pay for it. I shall not need much as I have made most of my purchases for the coming summer, I bought two new dresses this vacation of which I send a sample, the muslin cost a New England shilling per yd. the calico a New York shilling. I was obliged to get my bonnet dressed that cost me 62 cts. I went to Springfield and paid 50 cts. for my ride, so you see money has been slipping through my fingers pretty fast this vacation. Hope you will not think I have been extreme again, goods are very high this spring they say.There have been a great deal of rain north of here the past week, which raised the Connecticut so much that the mail could not cross monday. It is feared that the young ladies who have left will have difficulty to cross on their return tomorrow. Only about 30 remained here this vacation. It seems quite lonely. Our vacation is almost passed, school commences again next friday I have not accomplished near as much as I had planed for the vacation. We shall not have any examinations till the close of next term, on account of Miss Whitman's health. This will make it rather hard when the term closes we shall have so many more to prepare at once. I wish very much some of you could attend our examinations next summer. We sent a box of clothing to some missionaries in Persia the first thursday of vacation. We had quite a time making children's dresses. I worked 20 buttonholes in the backs
