Kindest love to my dear father & yourself, Sallie & Auntie, and Believe me, dear Mother, <br> Yours with truest affection<br> Emma<br><br> Hamilton<br> March 9th 1874<br> My dear Mother,<br> I was so glad to get your letter Saturday. I fancied from its tone that you were beginning to look more happily on my future - was I wrong, mother dear! I feel so sure it will all be right. I wish you could see it as I do. About prolonging our stay - I do not know that it would be best even could it be done, which is doubtful. I would not urge it myself. I will explain why when I see you. There is a lady here already who is to take my work - and tomorrow will be my last day in the school. It will be well for me, I think to remain ten days longer in the college. I want time to say good-bye to everyone - and to give out some dress-making - that gray silk might as well be made up, I suppose and I want to get a black one. I can get it at wholesale price and both had better be made here. I shall keep myself supplied with work as long as I am here. I scarcely see how everything is to be got ready but mean to manage it somehow or other. I wrote to Susie to know if George could meet me in Toronto so that I could get there pretty much all I want. Will you let me know Mamma, what you think I will want most, and what resources I may expect to have to draw upon, if I get knives & forks or anything of that kind. I might get them in Toronto - better than elsewhere. Thank Auntie & Sallie for their kind offer of help. I think I shall make most of my preparations in Barrie. Will you write immediately, Mamma, please, and let me know what you think about all these things.
