Jan 24th Churchville Va January 22nd/ 66 Much Esteemed Friend, I will try and be a little more puncutal in future than I have been in the past, for I must confess, that I have been too negligent. I have not had the time to devote to letter writing that I would wish to have, but I hope I will not be kept so busy now. You will be surprised when I tell that I have quit school, that I have changed from a student, to an artist. George Wilson and myself have entered into a partnership, and have been taking lessons under Mr Arbogast at Churchville. We have been in the business only

and now we can both take very good pictures. I was almost forced to quit school on account of means, and it is uncertain whether I will ever resume my studies or not.

pleasant to me. I believe I have no news to communicate at all. Churchville is quite a lively place of late, I have attended several very pleasant parties since I quit school. I wish you could head some of the remarks that persons are ma king about my quitting school. Some persons say that Miss Jennie and I are going to be married, others say that Jimmie C. has cut me out, and I am going to leave the neighborhood in con- sequence of it. It is really amusing. A wedding in this vicinity is out of the question, they have completely played out. George and I were talking this morning about shutting up shop a week, and visiting, but

I hardly think we can afford to lose the time. I will have to close, as at is now 2 oclock, and I have to go to go Staunton yet this evening. Please remember me kindly, to each member of the family. As ever your true friend Frank
