My dear Miss Lapham:-

We shall be more than pleased to accept the picture your [illegible] in your last letter.

It will be hung in the sixth grade room, as Miss. Hatz teaches geography of the United States.

Thanking both you and your sister for your kindly interest in our schools. I am,

Sincerely yours,

Martha Riley.

Madison, Wis. March 10, '10.

My dear Miss Lapham:-

Your letter and the pictures came to me last night, but I have been not of school, so I know you will pardon my neglect.

The picture of the Falls is hung in the sixth grade room, as they make special study of the geography of our own country. All the children have seen it, and are so pleased.

Monday last March 7, each teacher read the letter sent and spent some time in talking one your father's life and the good he had done.

The little pictures [illegible] are glad to have as they can be used in first three grades.

The children have written letters to you some A. [illegible] [Illegible...]

Thanking your and your sister for your interest in m?

school, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Martha K. Riley. Lapham School.

5th Grade.

1408 E. Dayton St. Madison, Wis. March 4, 1910.

My dear Miss Lapham:-

March 3, we received a picture of Yosemite Falls which I thought was very beautiful. It is going to be in our room which is very nice.

We also have a picture of your father which I hope will not be taken down and replaced by a new one. I think it is nice that Mr. Lapham's picture should hang in our room and especially the one of Yosemite Falls as it is so interesting. We will have a great celebration on his one hundredth birthday. I will now close thanking you very much for the picture.

I remain yours truly,

Hazel M. Bryant.
