To Gov. Chas. Robinson.

I thought I would write to you. I am going to tell you that my father is sickened and my sisters wants me to go home. I am in room number 3. I go to school all day. I am going to ask you if it should be right for me to go home?

One of my brother's are going to get married at Carlisle. They are going to live in Philadelphia in West Grove. If I go home I would come back.

I have been here three years and a half.
