to draw a small one for you if she is willing, and you would accept of it, if you should ever write to this place I should be glad if you could write a few words to me. From your young Cherokee friend,

Mrs. Conner

Brainerd Cherokee Nation June 21, 1828 Dear Madam, I fear you think you are not to receive the collar for which you left muslin; it would have been done before now; but there has been a great deal of sickness at this place this last spring. I remember you. I was here when you called on us and I shewed you some of my work. There were but five girls in school when you were here as it was about the close of vacation. I worked half of the collar that will be sent you; and Eleanor North who has since removed from this Station worked the other half. I thank you very much for the interest you took in this school. I am always glad to see any body who desires to do the heathen good. Perhaps you would like to know my studies which are reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, and geography - - - Miss Sawyer our former teacher has removed to Hawies?. Her heath was not very good and it was thought best for her to go where her work would be lighter. We sometimes write to her and she writes to us. Miss Lucy Ames teaches the girls now. She came on from the North this last fall.
