My dear Mary, 
 
 
 
		I believe I answered 
your last leter of the 1st inst. last  
night I rcd. Ella & Vals letters of 
the 8th with both of which I  
was well pleased. Val says he was 
to start to school the next week. 
 
 
 
I am glad to hear this. Tell him he 
must learn to write well this winter 
so that he can write me good long 
letters like Ella. Tell Ella that I  
was much pleased and interested with 
her account of the early history of France 
which she has been reading. Tell her 
that I wrote her a letter some ten  
days agao which I thought I had sent 
at once, but unfortunately it got under 
some papers on my table and I did not 
discover it for more than week after 
wards. I hope she will have got it before
