Brainerd C N Nov 19 Dear Jane I have requested Miss Ames to let me write a few lines to you though I have never met you. I should be very glad to receive letters from you and would answer them We should rejoice that we have an opportunity to go to school. The Missionaries schools do a great deal of good they teach us how to behave as Christian people do and how to study as white children do and how to take care of families house and to teach poor children who can not come to missionaries school We can teach our brother and sister too Miss Ames has got a little bell to wake her up so she could have an opportunity to read mornings before the girls rise. I was very glad to see Miss Nash when she visited Brainerd. I sometimes think she and the other missionaries felt bad to leave their dear friends to come to teach the Cherokees, but I think it was their duty to come. We ought to be thankful to the missionaries and especially to God who sent them to us. Give my best love to Sarah and tell her I should be very happy to see her. I must now close from you Friend Miss Jane Speaker Lucy A. Campbell
