Friday Morning
My Darling Mother,
Your very welcome letter was received
by the last mail, and very glad indeed I was to get
it. But I am sorry to find you miss us all so much
and are so lonely at Uncle Gordons, I reckon it is even
more monotonous than it is every where in the coun
try in the winter. I go through the same [?] every
day too. Get up at six, dress, read, and knit or write a
part of a letter as I am doing this morning, breakfast
at eight and school at half past until twelve. Then I
knit until dinner, sometimes in my own room, some
times I go down, then dinner at no particular time
and then school for one and a half or two hours then
I sit in my own room and read any history and knit
until the sun goes down and then with Maria take a
walk. After [?] we all knit until about nine and then to
bed. We have had no visitor since I came back except Mr.
Bolling (he is here every day always), Col Edmunds, and Mr.
Goode, an old Uncle of Mr. Bolling who got here last
night after [?], and Mr. Bird, an Episcopal minister
