User-Contributed Transcription You should write to us; tell us all how you get along - all the particulars. How about exercise? Never omit your daily hour of walk, and do whatever else you can. Especially if there is no gymnasium. If there is any chance to wash or iron or set tables, or sweep or dust, or any thing. There is no better exercise than housework, and any kind of work is really respectable at Oberlin. Any body is thought all the better of by every body whose opinion is of any value, for doing well whatever the hands find to do. Especially if it makes money as well as exercise - but do it any how. Be careful of your health. Write to us. Sincerely Father
