Oberlin March 11th
Dear Mary:
I have been thinking
about you all, my scholars I mean,
and I cannot refrain from writing
if I would. I have been away from
you little over a week. I wish I
could see you a half hour in
that school house. I have many
things which I would like to
say. I wanted to say many things
the last day but I couldn't say
one. Perhaps you won't understand
all this stuff. Teach school - love
your scholars and then see if
you understand. I never loved
scholars as I did those. I wish
I could say some-thing here -
but I musn't. I will say so much
