Have you decided where you will attend school this winter? if not. I would advise you to go to Tabor. and before going make up your mind to stay - at first you may not exactly like the place but you will soon like the place and people, you will have to study very hard and be kept very closely confined, yet this is just what you kneed - now if you cant go with the intention of staying a year you had better not go at all.  I went just long enough to find out that I knew nothing, if you will say you will go for a year I will insure you to go.  I want you to think of it seriously. You are now almost a woman and need very badly to attend. a good school. for at least a year - dont think it impossible for you to go for it is not. when you write again let let me know if you will go and when you wish to start - and I will send you some money to start on. I have been intending to go to school
