Last week we managed to crash several panes of glass from the door window in the hall, Aunt Ellen did not say anything about it particularly. Aunt was very much pleased to know that Father and Mother had not entirely forgotten them. They had a good reason for not paying father, for they were in pretty low circumstances for a while, but now they have taken in a great deal of money since I have been here. Harris goes out in the morning and does not come until evening and Ellen is now lamenting for the spring trade to open. Aunt keeps me pretty straight, she does not permit Sallie to go to the Theatre, or opera or even to keep company, Well, it is some fun connected with this part that the old folks do not find out, and it is none of my business, so what I know does not avail them any. Sister I would like to have your company sometimes, to pass away time pleasantly, for nothing could give me great pleasure, now do not think I be coming home sick, I am satisfied like Brother Isaac, that it is so well with me as it is". Only give Prent and Willie a fair field and
