128. From a Little Girl at School to Her Mamma.
W——, October 19, 19—.
Dear Mamma:—
Am so sorry that Miss Peabody has had to complain of me, but I do try to learn my very difficult lessons, and when I cannot do so I cry until my head aches. Dear mamma, I wish you would allow me to put German aside until next term, and then perhaps I should get on better with my French lessons.
Please give my love to dear papa, and tell him I would not make him unhappy if I could help it, but I have so much to learn every day, and all the girls in my class are older than I am, and have been much longer at school.
With lots of kisses for you, papa and puss,
Your very affectionate daughter,
Maggie.
