May 1828 Respected Madam, Altho I was not here when you visited this Station I was told that a Lady called at this place, and left muslin for the girls to work a collar, As the collar is wrought, I will send a small piece of lace of my work, as a specimen. We have an interesting school. I think you would now be glad to step in at our door, and see us rise before you and see our dear teacher call up the first lass and so on till the last and then hear us recite our lessons in geography, arithmetic, & G. We have been learning dialogues and single pieces for speaking. When Miss Ames tells the two while girls they have done well, we often say they can do well, because they are white girls, though she says people at the North think that the Cherokees have as a good a genius to learn if it was only cultivated. And I think they have. I feel more encouraged to learn every day. I love my books and school better and better. In my leisure moments I find something in my book I ought to learn. Within two or three days I have got along my studies very well, and I know how it is; when I have a long lesson to get, if I think it is a hard one, I say to myself, I will try to get it, and I get it as well as though it was an easy one. - Mr. Worcester and his wife have removed from this place to New? Town we have no minister at this Station - John Alexander Pe? Tray is my cousin , he has been here six months. Mr. Elsworth says he is a fine boy and a promising scholar - Miss Ames says she will send to Boston for suitable paper to learn us to draw maps. I should be pleased
