From a Young Girl, at Boarding School, to her Mother

Hopeville Female Seminary
October 4, 18____

Dear Mother:

I want you to write me a letter at once, asking me to come home and see you. O dear! I am so homesick! You know, mother, this is the first time I was ever away from you so long. You must let me come right home,
or I will certainly die of homesickness

Your miserable child,
Ella Bennett

To Mrs. D.C. Bennett
