This letter is written by Frances Adeline Miller Seward.Dear
Gusy,
I have a beautiful little, live, white, kitten
and a pretty little China Dog — the name of my kitten
is Franky Burke — Pa
sometimes before breakfast — To day we waited
dinner until 6 o clock for Father
come yet and it is now 7 — Mother
some Danish stories to me — I like them very
much & wish you could hear them — I read
every day to Mother & have read 28 pages in
my Lesson book — I spell too — I love to read
This is one of my lessons— “I can see a cat—
I can see a kit —
The kit is not as big as the cat is — The cat can
run — the kit can run — Can the kit see? Yes and
the cat can see the kit — & the cat & the kit can see
us — Is the kit as old as the cat is? No — The kit
is not as old as the cat is” —
Mother read your letter for me to day — I wanted to
know whether you had seen the Queen
like to see her myself — Give my love to Clarence
I have a pretty wax doll here —
I wish you could write me a
little letter —
Your affectionate sister
Fanny —
