Note: Delia H. Southgate shares news from home with her daughter Mattie Logan Southgate. Mattie's friend Willy Wilkinson battles a fever, her sister Annie has rebounded from illness, her brother Jimmie has traveled to Beaufort for fishing while Aunt Sarah plans a trip to Henderson. She inquires about the items Mattie will need for winter at the Wesleyan Female Institute and promises to send a box or care package for Christmas. Delia asks Mattie for information about her studies in vocal and instrumental music with Miss Lizzie Daniels and Professor E. Louis Ide.
