Brainerd, Cherokee Nation May 16, 1828 Dear Madam, It is a year since I wrote to you; But I understand that you have not recieved the letter. In my other letter, I mentioned the love I had towards Mrs. Dean, and how much good she has done me. I mentioned that they left their son here. I took care of it while it was here and at my fathers. They had it there five or six months. I loved both of their children very much as well as I do my brothers and sisters. When Mr. and Mrs. Dean went away I was not here, I was at my fathers taking care of their son. I wished to see them before they went away. They were father and mother to me, and it almost makes me shed tears to think about them and how many pleasant hours I spent in working with her and playing with Chester. There has been more attention to religion at this Station and in this neighbourhood than usual. Among others the girls of this school? have thought more about the Saviour and that that they were sinners. Some of them think that their sins are forgiven. I have thought more than I did and some times I think they my heart is changed and at times I am doubtful. I love to think about the Saviour and love to pray to Him, and pray that there may be a revival of religion here. My studies at present, Reading, Spelling, Writing, Wood bridge's Geography and spelling the definition in the spelling book and Colbrom's Arithmetick. The girls are learning fast. I love my school
