19 Lyrics by Emily Dickinson

Selected Letters

0

Saturday. P.M.
My dear Brother. Austin.
I heard today that Mr. Colton. from Amherst was to preach here tomorrow & am writing a word, hoping to send him to you. You probably thought me very sisterly, grateful &c. not to answer your kind letter by Mary. Snell, but I had no time to write by her & since then I have been occupied every moment & could find no time to write you. I was not very well when Mary. was here, but think that I am better now.
I finished my examination in Euclid last eve & without a failure at any time. You can easily imagine how glad I am to get through with 4. books, for you have finished the whole forever. I am looking forward to next Wednesday very impatiently - as I expect you and Mary. Warner, then. Surely you will not disappoint me. How are you all at home & what are you doing this vacation? You are reading Arabian Nights, according to Viny's statement. I hope you have derived much benefit from their perusal & presume your powers of imagining will vastly increase thereby. But I must give you a word of advice too. Cultivate your other powers in proportion as you allow Imagination to captivate you! Am not I a very wise young lady? I had almost forgotten to tell you what my studies are now. "Better late than never." They are, Chemistry, Physiology, & quarter course in Algebra. I have completed four studies already & am getting along well. Did you think that it was my birthday - yesterday? I dont believe I am 17. Is. Jacob. Holt any better than when you wrote last & is there any hope of him? Give much love to all home friends & tell them I will write a long letter soon. Knowing you to be fond of gimcracks I wish you would accept the enclosed Box of Wafers. Hope you will use them on all extra important occasions, such as writing notes for example &, but I will not specify. My best love to father, mother, Viny, Abby & Mary.
                                                                                  From your aff. Sister
                                                                                                           Emily.
