Aida Austin, Oswego, N.Y., to W.H. (Henry) Austin, Eldred
February 26, 1885
Dear Father,
I have received the money from Eldred (her brother).
Your kind and welcome letter was received some time ago, but I have not had time to answer it before, being kept so very busy with my lessons which are much harder this term than last.
We are not going to have finals this term, so it will all depend upon our class work and our impromptus whether we pass from our subjects or not.
I am getting along pretty well so far, but begin to feel rather tired, and shall not be sorry to see the first of June.
I had a letter from Lon a few days ago. He tells me that he thinks the trouble between Mr. Perine and the Church will end in a law suit. It seems strange they will act so foolish. I should think that by this time, they could see it would be better to leave him alone.
How is mother? Does she keep well this winter? I would write you more about the school and my work, but my head is aching quite badly and I am very tired and sleepy.
With love to all, I remain your loving daughter, Aida
