ter of a school-teacher, who is hard-working, but unfortunate.

It will take a little amount to purchase my wardrobe.

I don't wish any thing in my wardrobe elaborate. I wish it nice, yet plain & simple.

So, if you would kindly send me some of your discarded dresses, that I may make over for my self, I should indeed deem it a great favor conferred from a great lady to an unknown, poor, yet earnest school-girl.

I have read much, also heard much of your many deeds of benevelonce [sic] of your being such a charitable woman, especially in educational interests; otherwise I should not have addressed you thus. I am sixteen

years old & fair complected.

Earnestly hoping you will grant my humble request,

I am, dear lady, Very sincerely yours
