dc.description.transcriptionThorp SpringJan. 7, 1894Dear Brother:Your last letter cheered me somuch and made me ashamed of the blue letters I have written and I have resolved to never write a letter if it can not be cheerful –at least have nothing in it to cloud one’s place of mind. The girls have organized a military drill and the exercise helps me so much –we drill an hour every evening after supper. After we practise [sic] some time we are going to challenge the young men for ato walk to the peak. I wish I had time to walk some every day as we did at Eureka. I, too, fear that our trip that summer was not appreciated. Oh you must by all means go to Niagara and Grimsby Park next summer, -only 25 miles from N –to G -. How I wish I could go again next summer and we could be there together with nothing to do but enjoy ourselves. The memory of that place still haunts me and I will never be content until I can go again. Were I able I would go every summer. I have a great desire to live in the north, would not object to Canada. If you could have gotten acquainted with the Kinsfolk during the holidays you might have received an invitation to spend part of the summer with them. I want you to enjoy the vacation as much as possible. Papa said you might run down into Missouri and get a two months school, but I think you will need rest, not work. You might go to see the Kinsfolkdown there. I am anxious to get as much enjoyment out of this summer as possible. Some time I’m tempted to go to Canada again, on a visit this time to the girl I roomed with, she would be only two[sic]glad to welcome me. I suppose I should not think of such an expensive trip,but I’m inclined to think of it seriously. I can’t put it out of my mind –I desire it so much –don’t know when I ever wanted to do anything more than this. Perhaps I may be out of the notion when the time comes. I could spend the time pleasantly and profitably I know. But enough for this time. Good night yours –Sister
