I should not [have] wanted to be so far forward on him as to have been on the cow catcher. I should have been afraid I might have been caught myself. I should have been contented a little farther back. I have not had a ride on the cars since we came up the country. I should like very well to have one now.

I guess the old cows would have thought the old horse rather saucy if they could have thought anything about it. I want to know how you are getting on now [and] what you have got to study at the University, if it is anything like going to common school, how many goes to it, and what you have to pay
