wish myself there but alas! I am afraid I will never have another opportunity of visiting the west, but Ellie I should be so much pleased to have you return my visit, which I think you could very easily do. I think if memory is not at fault I heard your brother Will speak of making a visit to Penna and why could not you accompany him. I think it would be real pleasant for you. I could not entertain you as well as you entertained me but never theless I would do my best. I had a letter from home last week Father & Mother says I may prepare for an invitation home after the Holidays dont you think they are kind? I begin to feel very anxious to see them all, sometimes I get real homesick but I have been enjoying myself very well we have some great times here you spoke of missing my laugh I wish you had been here this evening and heard me laugh. I laughed until the tears run down my cheeks
