It is some time since I have written but there has been a good deal of change in this short time since I wrote last. There has been a bridal and one who then was in the full enjoyment of health has sicknened and died. To morrow the grave will close over all that remans (remains) of Mrs Elenore Beebee. She leaves a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Last night we were invited to Laura's. Unfair but it was postponed on account of Mrs Beebee's death. Singing school has comenced again and we have a lecture by Mr Gillet twice a week. Monday night Allie and I went with Decker and Beckwith. Jo R- and Moses came from singing school with us, they both went off mad. Jo S- came to see me last Friday and I found I was mistaken when I wrote that to meet would be painfull to us both. We had a very pleasant visit never but once was I reminded that there was any difference in our meetings. I was plagueing him and he spoken so sorrofully and said "Dont plague me to night Mary. I have enough to bother me now". It sobered me in a minute and he spoke again, "Did I make you feel bad Mary? dont ,you are not to blame". I told him to forgive me but I forgot the past. He seemed so very gay then he spoke bitterly and said he truly had much to feel merry about to day. We all went over to Mr White's to dinner had a very nice dinner. To night I am writing while Ally is playing, feeling very lonesome if I am not mistaken because Jo dont (didnt?) come? She will feel different if I am not mistaken three years from now but I must practice. Good night.
