&lt;p&gt;&lt;span font-size="medium"&gt;you know. But this sort of talk don’t [suit?] me it sounds too green. I don’t think I am green a bit. Sa me!, as Mrs Parlington says, what hard looking cases some of them are in our class. Allen and I just set and shake when some of them come in. I received a ticket today inviting me to a party at Profr Gross. It is given to the students. I don’t know whether I shall go or not. There is but one inducement and that is that there are to be no ladies there. The Profrs give parties to the stu- dents every year and they are always without ladies. You are so fond of looking out into the street to see what is going on. I just wish you could go on Chestnut street for two&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span font-size="medium"&gt;or three days, I know you would get tired. Allen recd [received] a letter from Dr. Nelson the other morning, We enjoyed it very much. It had A great deal of impudence in it. He says he is going to try and pay us a [flyeing?] trip this winter. We are good for a week or two when we go by there. I have re- ceived a letter from Tom since I came here. He seems to be very much pleased. And [Plood?] is going to the fair is he? Tell him to tie his specks on, if he don’t somebody will steal them and tell him also that he had just as well see all the Elephant and come to Phil- adelphia and see Allen and I. When you see Tom Peyton tell him that I have not forgotten him. I have seen men and children&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span font-size="medium"&gt;[Right side]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span font-size="medium"&gt;almost cut to pieces by the Sur- geons. I reckon when I get through that I will be so hardened as not to Sympathize with any one at all. No wonder Doctors seem void of any thing like feeling or pity. Well I believe I have done except going the rounds distributing love. [Carry] over a basketful to Cousin Elizas a bagful in the kitchen and Ma’s barn wardrobeful for you all. Good night, good night and heaven bless you all. Rob.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
