remittance reach you. On a pinch you might be able to get a few dollars from Seba too.

Aside from the money that I must spend for the Uni. of Nebr. and clothing and presents to bring along home I will use but little down here. We ought therefore, to pay most of our debt unless some unforseen calamity should arise that would take considerable money.

I am sorry to hear that Psyche has gotten a nervous attack again, but hope that it will be over long before this letter is received. Yes, before it is written. Should she continue more or less nervous try to cool her down and don't send her to school if it worries her. See the doctor about her if you should feel worried about her yourself. As to baby Alice I hope that her vomiting didn't develop into anything serious, and that a few days at home cured her alright. While I am lonely a great deal of the time down here, I am not much concerned about you grown up folks, but I do feel a little worried at times about the children. I feel as if I would like to share the care of them and not leave it all for you. Of course there are plenty of persons at hand to help you, and then Dr. Righter can always advise you even if it does cost something.
