Wednesday. My dear Gertrude, Yesterday I received your very kind invitation for Thanksgiving Day, and I write immediately to tell you that I shall be most happy to accept. I shall be very glad to meet your cousins, and I know I shall enjoy the music. I also hope the girls will tell us some stories about their good times in boarding school. Yours sincerely, Lena Legrand. D Hunter, N.Y., July 16, 1908. My dear Sister, We arrived last evening about six o'clock, and we were very glad to get out of the hot train. We enjoyed the first part of our trip the best, as the sail up the Hudson was delightful. We met two very nice boys, and we treated them to some of the candy you bought us at the station. I am sure we shall enjoy ourselves at Hunter, but we shall often wish you were with us. Give our love to all at home. Your affectionate brother, Dear Miss Coran, 1658 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa., May 10, 1909. As my little brother is sick, mother needs me at home to help her. I am very sorry that I am obliged to be absent, and I hope that I shall be able to return next Monday. Will you kindly ask Eleanor Brown to write my lessons and leave them at our house on her way home? Your grateful pupil, Adelaide Adams. In reply to your advertisement in the Herald for a stock girl, I desire to make application for the position. I am fifteen years of age. I recently graduated from Public School No. 76, located at Lexington Avenue and Sixty-eighth Street. The Principal of that school, Miss Mary A. Magovern, has given me permission to use her name as reference. Yours respectfully, Elizabeth Cheney. |
