Though deprived of the opportunity of going to school, you have learned
to use your eyes, and see the beautiful things which God has made; and
if you study and read and profit by your mother's instruction, you will
lay a good foundation for the class-room when you are older. It is quite
an advantage, too, to ride so well, and the health you gain as you
canter over the hills is something to be thankful for.
