Our examination will be the first Monday in August, I mention the time that you may know when that day arrives, that the Cherokees scholars at Brainerd are very much pleased. The parents of all the children will attend and all the scholars will go to their homes and spend two months with their parents -- I hope the collar will please you I thought of you a great many times while I was at work on it. Please to remember me respectfully to Mr. Conner. I hope you will write a few lines to me when you write to Miss S. From your young friend Elizabeth T. Mr. Conner.

Brainerd, C. Nation July 27 1828. Dear and respected Madam, I think you will not expect to receive a letter from your friends pupil. I have heard her speak of living in your family when she was a little girl and says your instruction have done her a great deal of good. She told us about your little Rebecca that died said that she loved her and that she felt very much grieved for you because you loved your little children and it was hard for you to part with her. Since she came to this place she took up a Boston Recorder and saw the death of your son in Boston. She felt very much for you, and I thought I knew how you felt. I never lost any near relative but my grand mother she died this year. I thought I felt bad as though she had been my near relative but I expect it is harder for mothers
