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
