Cherokees love her very much, so do we. There is a vacation in the summer of eight weeks then all the children go home and visit their parents. I shall stay with Mrs. Elsworth. From your young friend, Nancy Reece. Mrs. Louisa Sanborn.

Brainerd, Cherokee Nation June 1, 1828 Dear Madam, Although I am not acquainted with you, I with pleasure write a few lines to you, as Mrs. E. says you will be interested to see a letter from a Cherokee. There are a number of Cherokee children at this station to receive instruction; who a few years ago were without any knowledge of God. I am very glad that I can read and write. I am always very happy to write to the friends of those dear missionaries; who are so kind to me. I love Mrs. Elsworth very much indeed; but have not had much of her company lately as she has been sick. After school is out, the girls assist in different parts of the house. I with three others, help Mrs. Elsworth, and are called her girls. Perhaps you would like to know my studies which are reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, and geography. I fear I am writing to much for the paper, Mrs. E can leave me. From your Cherokee friend Elizabeth Taylor Mrs. Louisa Sanborn
