Dear Mr. Rich-Man,

Here ’s your check for fifty dollars. Thank you very much, but I do not feel that I can keep it. My allowance is sufficient to afford all of the hats that I need. I am sorry that I wrote all that silly stuff about the millinery shop; it ’s just that I had never seen anything like it before.

However, I was n’t begging! And I would rather not accept any more charity than I have to.

Sincerely yours,

Jerusha Abbott.

Dearest Daddy,

Will you please forgive me for the letter I wrote you yesterday? After I posted it I was sorry, and tried to get it back, but that beastly mail clerk would n’t give it to me.
