William Mellor letter to Richard Hunt, II
03/20/1853 - 03/21/1853
“Haverford [3mo 20th – piece of page is missing] 1853
Dear Dick,
I have not received a letter from you for a long while, I hope you are not mad. I believe I wrote to you last. We have had some most beautiful weather in this part of the country, how is it with you. It was very fine on St Patricks day. I think it has not been so as long as I can remember before. I believe I did not tell you that I was examined out of Algebra and now am in the second Book of Geometry. It is only three more weeks until our vacation and then I will have some fine times. I wish they taught book-keeping here as I exspect to have to take care of the book in fathers store when I leave school if nothing happens. Do they teach latin and Greek at your school. I am getting along first rate with both of them. When you write please tell me when your vacation commences. I received a letter from Leeds Miller this morning and he is quite well. I also received one from Horace C Bennett last week, and he sent his love to you. Have you written to him yet. My father and mother exspect to go to england after our vacation, and going to shut up house, my two sisters are going to Boarding School in morrsitown at Mary Lippincott’s, that is if C F & M go. Did you receive that catalogue which I sent you. I have got so many letters to answer that I can not hardly find time to do it. we have fine times playing marbles. Dick what are you going out west for. How are all your folks, please give my love to all of them when you write. Dick are you going to farm next summer, or not. I exspect you are a Great deal stouter since you left Garrigues. I think It would do me some good to go on a farm and if you will have me I perhaps may come. There were some english friends out here the other day to see us. I went into my class this afternoon to say my Greek and I bust all up. Dick I will send some papers if I can pretty soon. We have our mail brought to us every morning before school calls and it is very handy indeed. Dick I do not know what more to say as their is nothing new going on. So farewell and Please write soon, with dear love to you
I remain as ever
Yours Truly
William Mellor.”
