Dear Mr. Rich-Man,
Here's your cheque for fifty dollars. Thank you very much, but I do
not feel that I can keep it. My allowance is sufficient to afford all
of the hats that I need. I am sorry that I wrote all that silly stuff
about the millinery shop; it's just that I had never seen anything like
it before.
However, I wasn't begging! And I would rather not accept any more
charity than I have to.
Sincerely yours,
Jerusha Abbott
