Daddy-Long-Legs (Webster)/Letter 14

by Jean Webster

May 27th.

Daddy-Long-Legs, Esq.

Dear Sir: I am in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Lippett. She hopes that I am doing well in deportment and studies. Since I probably have no place to go this summer, she will let me come back to the asylum and work for my board until college opens.

I HATE THE JOHN GRIER HOME.

I'd rather die than go back.

Yours most truthfully,

Jerusha Abbott.
