in my mind what I shall do with my school, should you come home in the course of two or three weeks; I will most certainly give it up, whether they are willing or not. Shermans army will be home in a few weeks; O wont that be joyful! I cant realize that the war is so near at an end. Wont Mother feel rejoiced, we had a letter from them last Sunday, Emma says that father and mother seem as contented as can be. You spoke in your last of me getting the buggy fixed; it would be best to do that or get an open light buggy wagon, but such things cost so much now; I presume the old one could be made to look pretty well. If Austin thinks best I will have it taken up immediately, that letter on the subject of fruit growing has been deferred so long, that I have a mind to wait now till you come home; indeed I don't feel that I can write anything interesting, I am so excited over the prospect of your being at home so soon. I am enjoying the best of health and am comparatively happy. But wont the time seem to pass slowly till you do come.
