 Description: With a thankful heart I recieved your precious letter tonight of the 28th? and cheer- fully devote myself to the pleasure of answering it. I wrote ou last eve informing you that I had commenced my school. You are mistaken, dear one, I shall always be "Addie" at least I hope that to you I shall. No difference if they do add the appel -lations of "Mistress," "Teacher" yet from under these coverings a strong semblance of Addie may be recognizable. Yes darling, you heard aright in your fanciful vision when you imagined hearing a chap- ter read from the Bible. I should not feel my-self worthy the name of teacher, if I could not open my school with a chapter from God's Holy Book. I also have my scholars learn a verse from some portion of the Bible, which they may choose and repeat just before the close of school.
