Dear Lawrence,
There is nothing new to write about today. Every week seems to go very nearly like the one before it did.

Just at present I cannot sit and write in your room with any comfort on account of Alice. She cries to stay with me , and, when she is in here she pulls your books out of the shelves and throws them on the floor so I cannot do much but look after her. I hope to teach her better soon, but the books will be out of order when you return.

We all have had colds in our heads. The weather is hot one day and chilly the next. It is hot today. The ground is very dry & dusty. A rain would be relief.

I am spending so much money I do not know where I will end. It does take so much to run a family and everyone is doing so much for the church debt now it is money all the time. They think every cent will be roused before next Thursday. Only $220 yet today [?] the baskets
