We have made several things such as work bags, needle books, and Miss Ames learns us to make and repair bonnets for the Cherokee women she sets a price to the work and they pay the money to our society. I have been thinking that perhaps we shall have enough to support a heathen child. I feel very much interested in this society if we had not one we should be wasting our time, we meet on Saturdays in the afternoon in the hour that were given us to play I wish to write to Mrs. Preston but Miss Ames finds She cannot let me have room. Please give my best respects to her and tell her that I thank her very much for the present she was so kind as to send me and likewise thank her daughter for the bonnet she sent me. I send my best respect to Miss Abigail Parker. Miss Ames has read a part her letter where she is describing the Cherokees. It appears to me that you cannot not avoid laughing where she is telling her the manner of their living. Give my best respects to Mr. Holton and except of this. From your young friend, Nancy Reese Mrs. Thankful Holton
