My dear Old Mammy
Found your letter and was real glad to hear from you. I’m as fat
and sancy as ever. And was real glad to hear that you will let me stay
and horn the trade, havnt past yet decided which shop I willing to ----- will
find out by nex’ Monday I’m helping Mrs Martin sew this week. Her daughter and
I made a calico dress & two aprons today. Aunt Ann & I have been
attending spiritualist meetings every Sunday night, up there Mrs. M- is a
Inidiurm. I come home nights. I think so much of Aunt Ann. She is like a mother
to me & Uncle White he is like a father to me & Carrie is like a sister
& George is like a brother they are all so good to me. ANT Ann is talking
of renting a piano or an organ for me. She got me a mouth organ & 2 new
gingham aprons. & Carrie’s mother gave me a new apron and Emma Williams
gave me a light one yesterday Carrie is making Pete an oil cloth apron & s
got stuff to make him & might grooms. She is an awful free hearted girl. She is so good to me she came up to Martins
for one she thought I might be afraid to
come home alone. Got a letter from Fred and will answer it to a few days. Haven’t
seen any of the folks since I came in. only Uncle Roche came up here dead drunk
after me to go home with him. Aunt Ann told him I was out sewing I should not
have ride out with him if he had been sober let alone drunk.
Carrie wants to know why Uncle Ebb don’t write to her. Say my dearest
Mother please send me that song (he stands between live & duty) send
the music & words and I will be your daughter for ever afterward Amen
well I must close as it is bed time & I will have to get up early in the
morning to get up there to sew well good night give my love to all the little
ones tell George he must have frighten his big sister. He never writes to me
any more. Take good care of Pete how I would love to have his picture taken. Well
write soon I am as ever & allways will be your own loving daughter
Lizzie.
