User-Contributed Transcription Whitestown, May 11th, /50.Dear Brother John,I should like to commence my school a week from next Monday; that will be the twentieth of May I believe. I could not make it convenient to come sooner as you mentioned in your letter. I have a piece of drawing which I shall not be able to finish until the latter part of next week. I expect one of these days to be competent to take a drawing of our own "Sweet Home." I fear it will be some time before that will happen however. Can you send, or come for me? I shall be ready to go Friday afternoon or Saturday. If you cannot come for me I can go in the accommodation. I can have a vacation of one week in the haying time if they wish it and thus lose three days at the commencement of next term. Hope that will give satisfaction. John, I am really homesick; do you know what that means? Only think, it is more than six months since I have seen Sarah or Anna or Cynthia! But, one week more, and I shall see them all and Cousin Elizabeth too. I promise myself very much pleasure this summer. I have a great many questions to ask. How much Sarah sits up every day, how Mother's health is, where Father preached last Sabbath, whether Henry goes to the academy yet, whether Anna is going to school
