Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
10th April
Dear Mr. Rich-Man,
Here's your cheque for fifty dollars. Thank you very much, but I donot feel that I can keep it. My allowance is sufficient to afford allof the hats that I need. I am sorry that I wrote all that silly stuffabout the millinery shop; it's just that I had never seen anything likeit before.
However, I wasn't begging! And I would rather not accept any morecharity than I have to.
Sincerely yours, Jerusha Abbott
