Yours of the 23rdEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. came to hand Saturday evening. Many thanks for your christian advice. I have never had a thought contrary to what you have said.

Mrs Fuller intended to start for Boston last Tuesday but she received a letter As Written: litter from a friend saying your next class would not form in several weeks, perhaps not till early Spring Dr Sawyer, I believe brought the word that you were so busy with other business you could not attend to a class. Mrs Silsbee said she should go as soon as the class opened. she is at present in ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois, and we hear nothing definite. Mrs Fuller as well as myself are anxious to go at the earliest possible moment. I have referred As Written: refered to your Journal of Decem and I find "Students can enter at any time excepting the last week in June the month of July or the 1st week of August" So I am puzzled to know the truth. I hear that Dr Sawyer opens a class in MilwaukeeEditorial Note: Milwaukee, Wisconsin this week. A lady from here is going to attend. Mrs Fuller has made all necessary arrangements to go, and she feels very impatient at this delay And we are tempted to believe it is a false alarm If we can come send a telegram immediately to that effect. If things are as represented please drop a line and let us know when the class will open. I have much I would like to write you, but I will not now trespass upon your precious time.

Affectionately.
