Dear dear darling Mamma
I love you so much and I hope you are having a very nice time in Boston. Papa read your letter to us last night.
We went to the dancing school yesterday and Mrs Morgan told us that there was not going to be any next week because she was going away and something was goining to be done to the house.
Perhaps we cannot go to school to-day because it is raining and I am very sorry because I like school very much and we will have to miss one of the French lessons. I like French ever so much and Mr. Adams is very nice.
We never have Arithmetic on thursdays so I did not have to do it last night but I had to get up early in the morning and do my Geography and my German.
I did not have any time before school to finish my letter so I am finishing it now.
Fräulein Clara and I have just been down to the shoe store to get, some shoe for (Fräulein Clara and) me and on the way back she bought me some cake.
Mrs. Scott told us day before yesterday that she did not want us to study more than two hours a day so we cannot stay up late any more. Margaret and Jessie are doing their history now and I will do my lessons after I finish my letter because I have not many. I have only Geography, History, and Arithmetic.
I am your loving daughter
Nellie
