Katherine Fletcher to Henrietta Fletcher, [circa 1887 November]
Primary tabs
It is nearly train time but I am going to try and get this into the office, if I dont write much.
This has been a very busy day with me as Sat's. generally are. Began at 7 to study on Arithmetic, till 10.
Bath till 11, writing till dinner. this afternoon I have spent with Prof.
& Mrs Story. Had a good many things to talk with Prof. about so I
made him quite a visit. He will let me have $25. in Dec. without
fail.
He gave me encouragement for this yr's. work. & thinks there is no use
worrying. But he dont know any more than I do about it. We'll hope for the best
anyhow, Wont we? It seems as though you all took it for a certainty that I would
graduate, which
I dont like near as much as I should to have you think
perhaps I may fail. But Mama it would kill me. I stand higher now in English
than Arithmetic.
Do you think you can send me the money for my shoes next week.? I have now about
80[cent symbol] Am going to go without my hat triming. Expected a letter from
you to day
but didn't get one. I shall be home Tues. night Nov. 22.
have till Tues morn. Hope to have dress seen to then.
Your tired girl
Kate
Write to me Mamma.
Love to papa & children.
