My Dear Rachel
I was very happy to receive a
letter from you. I thought you had forgotten
your promise. I should have answered it before
but you know “Procrastination is the thief of time”
I have kept putting it off, waiting for a better
time, but enough of apologies. I wish you could
visit me this Summer, I am going to stay
home and entertain company all Summer. I
wish some of you Paltz people would favor
me with your presence, I want to see you all so
much. I cannot go back to school at present,
as my sister is going to spend the Summer in
visiting and I expect to be housekeeper. Dont [sic]
