My daughter Madge will present this letter in person, as she is

about to enter school in your town for a several years’ course of

study. Under these circumstances, and in memory of our own lifelong

friendship, may I not ask that you will help her to forget some of the

sorrow of this, the first parting her happy, young life has known?

Trusting that you will do this for the sake of auld lang syne,

I am, as ever, your friend,

MARGARET M. BLATCHFORD.

MRS. FRANCES H. PAGE,
