…………….
The remainder of the week I head this this way because I am ashamed
to tell it I have neglected writing so long I am not able to remember all that transpired.
I received my note to play at the Lyceum meeting during the week, and consented
reluctantly. I am to play a duette with Mr Pond and a playing I expect it will be
indeed. Today is Friday and what is worse composition day. I am not to have one
however and I hope to find a letter when I go home to-night. I shall try and not
neglect my journal so long again.
H. Augustus Pond is the Professor of Vocal and Instrumental Music
at Wesleyan Female College (Cist 68). Serena does not mention which instrument she
plays. We can assume that it is not the guitar, because she never mentions Edward
Thomas, Professor of the Guitar. We know that she and Prof. Pond will play
piano solos at future Alumnae Association meetings (The Alumna 1859:78-80).
