in the Monument and thought it a great joke that we should (to use slang) "get left in the monument"

We visited the National Museum the other day Didn't get a third through Among other things we saw were several personal belongings of Genl. & Martha Washington. There were some lovely cut-glass dishes, two suits of the General's clothes, a reticule of Martha's etc. We saw the original "Declaration of Independence", diamonds that made out eyes burn , etc, etc.

Had a little disappointment today  Miss Minnigerode did not come as expected and I didn't get much work done.


were with me you wouldn't see anything but brown jolliness and green silliness. But really I do feel very sorry because one of the girls leaves the school tomorrow. She is my favorite among the girls .....She is a very good artist but doesn't intend to work in the class anymore.

It seems so funny, all the girls here dance. They don't think any more of it than they do of music. And to go to a dance or ball is no more

It seems so funny all the girls here dance They don't think anymore of it than thay [[they]] do of music And to go to a dance or ball is no more than to go to a reception or social

It breaks my heart to think I can't dance I do love it and would rather watch it than to eat. Myra and I went to an entertainment given by one of the public schools the other day And they had excellent stage dancing.
