  Daddy-Long-Legs, Esq.
  DEAR SIR:  I am in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Lippett.  She hopesthat I am doing well in deportment and studies.  Since I probably haveno place to go this summer, she will let me come back to the asylum andwork for my board until college opens.
  I HATE THE JOHN GRIER HOME.
  I'd rather die than go back.
                     Yours most truthfully,                                           Jerusha Abbott
