[Westerville, OH, to Mr. J. H. Harris, Ada, Ohio, Box 479]
Westerville O., June 9, '95.
Mr. J. H. Harris
Ada O.
My Dear Joe: — After spending a pleasant day I come to finish it in this very pleasant way.
I attended the Baccalaureate service this morning, which was given by Pres. Sanders. He spoke from Heb. 11-8, subject faith.
This afternoon Miss Adams & I spent at the fair ground (which is just east of here) talking over the past, present & future; in fact a little of everything was brought up.
Tonight the anniversary of the Christian Associations was held in the chapel. Dr. Drury of Dayton gave the address — subject “The call of today.” It was a feast for me.
Everything seems to be alive with commencement, the town is full of visitors, every body came but you. I believe Miss Adams came on Thur. as I had anticipated and now she and Mr. Bower occupy the parlor. I — I rather wish it were some one else sometimes. Last Thur. & Fri. nights were the Public Sessions of the literary societies. Yesterday I went to Columbus again. We were through at noon and could not return until four so Mr. Waters (the curly headed boy) kindly offered to go to the penitentiary, statehouse & etc with me. I accepted the offer and consequently came home quite tired.
I will say nothing concerning ex. tonight, and think I will say nothing in another week when I receive my returns. Mother came home Fri., she was indeed a welcome visitor. Home is hardly a home without a mother, but I presume you can realize that better than I.
I believe there are some visitors here from Ada but no one that I know.
I am glad to know that you still think of going to the summer school at Northfield. Such places surely afford advantages that we can not find elsewhere.
I can see clearly that your Y.M.C.A. work has done a great deal for you.
I have been hearing some excellent music which makes me feel very insignificant, but the announcements are out and I presume I must go to Iberia and make an effort at least. I rec'd word from John that they would like me to come the 14th but I shall not try to go until the 21st.
I surely must be difficult to study this warm weather. Do not study too hard, health is worth more than education.
May God help us in every undertaking.
Your loved one
Bertha Lambert.
