I shall keep the rest for sum future letter, hope you'll keep these until I get that Album for you. Well Sister, I am getting along with the study of medicine as well as can be expected of one of my abilities, not tired of the study, still I would not have any objection if it was first of April. I get tired of sitting so long every day. I sent father an account of our settlement here, so now I pay $5 per week (so long as greens' are plenty) I got my self some $50 wroth of books, I was obliged to have them for without books little is learned nowadays. Sam Mowrer's oldest daughter was at Ellen's the other evenning and I was compelled to take her to a lecture (Henry Ward Beecher on "Universal Suffrage") tickets were $0.75cts each $1,50, now sister you see what it cost to take "gals" out here
