Transcription	Oxford, Miss University Miss June 19, 1871 My dear Ma I let pass my regular writing being in the midst of Examination & c: and have just now taken my seat to drop you a few hurried lines merely to let you know that my health is excellent and spirits first rate. I have been examined on two studies, as well as I am able to judge my [stanard] is tolerably good, but I have two of my hardest to stand yet; Mathematics and Botany they will be dispensed this [illegible word] however, and for the present my scholastic duties will cease. I would start home Saturday but Tuesday night a week my medal is to be presented to me, and I suppose I will be compelled to stay to the ball as I will almost be obliged to purchase a ticket, therefore I might as well remain and get the good of it. I will take my departure for home on the 29, provided I get the �[illegible word] in time, which I doubt not.� I believe I told you I would not be able to come part of the way for half [illegible word] as I did Christmas. Even now I am at a loss to see how [Kress] charged me so much, if the first bill he sent you was $75.00 the last should have been less than $50.00 for I sent back a coat valued at $35.00 and a vest at $12.00 neither of which I had ordered I retained 1 white linen suit and a think black coat and pair of pants from their looks I dont think Kress should have charged so much you may think I speak about this a little more than is necessary Ma but it worries me that the old Dutchman should act in the manner he has. I have written in haste as myself, like others are busy in getting ready for the next Examination. Please send my [illegible word] as soon convenient. I feel very anxious to get home, and would not fancy being delayed. Give my best love to dear Pa with a good share for yourself. I will write you a better letter the latter part of the week. Your own devoted son Fred I thought I should be a little more explicit in asking for money. therefore have opened my letter Please send $25.00 dollars that is the least amount I can get through on send it so as to get up the 27th or 28th if possible. F.R.B.
