e public school instead of at Miss Russell's, although I must
say your mother made a considerable fuss at first on account of
the various classes of girls you would be thrown with. However,
she thought better of the plan when she heard that your little
friend Sahwah is a Brewster of the Samuel Brewsters, and this
Hinpoha person you are so fond of is Judge Bradford's granddaughter.
As long as Miss Kent is a teacher in the High School and takes
such an interest in you there is no objection on our part to your
going on to school in the company of your new friends. You are
