Dear Papa,
We received your letter today, and were were [duplicate word] very glad to hear from you. I believe we are all going to write to you this evening. I am going to for myself and Carlie, and sister for herself and little sister. Aunt Ella’s folk’s have come back they came Friday evening. They are all well I believe. Mr. Harvey’s folk’s came a while ago, at least I think it was them. They passed along the road. Mr. Hale has about got his house done. Roy is sitting down on the floor playing with Carlie and Zemmie. Mr. Stalbird has come back and is doing work at the College now. He went out to Mr. Cannons Sunday.
Mr. Rogers and Mr. Rigney hauled three or four loads of sugar cane and put it in the barn. There is another man from Farmersville here hunting for a place. Mr. Frank Rawlins is here now on busness [sic]. Roy has crawled and is standing up by the window. Well I have written about all I can think of so I will close.
Write soon. Your son

Dear Papa:-
I like the plan you have adopted in reference to P.G. work, and your scheme for Pedagogy seems to be quite complete. I think of nothing to add to it. As to the work in Mathematics, I hardly see what courses can be offered that can be pursued in absentia.
The Calculus we have here is a much more complete work than the one you use and might well be made a P.G. course. If I were planning the work, would also include Differential Equations, Higher Plane Curves, Solid Analytic, Higher Mechanics, and Summary courses in Algebra and Geometry. Of course work of this kind can hardly be done without the constant aid of a teacher.
I wrote Uncle Ran in reference to my work here to see if it would be accepted for A.M. – If I should stay to the summer school and finish the work required for my A.B. they will not confer the degree until ’96, tho I would not have to come back.
We had a lecture last night by Bro. Willett and it was fine, - he is always an interesting speaker. Also had an excellent sermon this morning by Bro. Newnan of Detroit – one of the most powerful sermons I ever listened to.-
You will be surprised to know that I have gotten into the bad(?) habit lately of getting up at 5 o’clock a.m. to study. Really almost a revolution, isn’t it? Feel that I will like it, if ever I get use to it. Have heretofore been sitting up until 11 or 12 and getting up at 7. Am now retiring at 10 and getting up at 5. Don’t know just how long I can keep it up.
Sister wrote me some time ago that Mr. Wade would be in school here this year. Is he here? I have never been able to find him. He has not been around to church yet.
Love to all.

Dear Papa,
We received your letter Monday, it was the last. We expected to get one yesterday but did not. We are still working with peaches. We have three trees with very large ones on them, they are not ripe yet. We haven’t heard from cousin Ella yet. We have one letter for her but we will keep it until she comes. Mr. Harding’s meeting closed Monday night, he baptized 3 the last night after meeting. I went over to the college yesterday and cleaned out your desk.
Mama is making sweet pickles to day, and the children are cutting peaches to dry.
Cousin David will be in this eve with a load of goods for Mr. Dabney.
We just stay here at home and don’t know anything to tell you. We haven’t heard from Grand-mother to day, she was over at uncle Tommie’s yesterday.
Evry [sic] body is asking when will you be at home.
Mr. Hale is still working at his house, he has made it longer evry [sic] way. He wants ten boarders. John Jenkins came over to see if we had any peaches to sell the other day. If we had plenty of [pages missing
