| 1 | Author: | Child, Lydia Maria Francis, 1802-1880 | Requires cookie* | | Title: | Letter to Lucy Ann, April, 1878 [a machine-readable transcription] ![](https://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/icons/default/i_tei.gif) | | | Published: | 1996 | | | Description: | It would be
more proper to write Dear Miſs
Brooks; but, in memory of the old
times, when I called you Mam'selle
Sac, such an address seems too
formal. Moreover, it does not
represent the affectionate feelings
with which the memory of you is
surrounded. So, though we are both
white-headed, let the girlish epithet
remain. We are both children in
heart. | | Similar Items: | Find |
