My dear Mary Louisa
I found among my
clothes when I got home
this skirt and as Mrs Thomp-
son is going over the Creek
this morning, take the opportu-
nity to return it.
Have you gotten rested from
Christmas yet? I found a
very pretty Christmas present
of a breast pin & ear rings
when I got home.

I wish you and your cousin
Fannie could come home with
Mrs. Thompson. Ask your
ma to let you come here &
study the rest of the winter
I reckon Mrs. Thompson would
board you. Wouldn't we
have nice times. If you all
are invited to Mrs. Pond's party
you must be sure & come
Come here & go with us
I enjoyed my visit at your
house so much. Remember
me to your mother & brother
I send the book your
[page 3]
brother asked me to, & two
others I think you would
all like to read.
Send me a note by your
Cousin Martha when she
comes back if you see her.
Yours truly
Carrie Lambert
