Dear Grandpapa

[before 1 Feb. 1808]

I do not know how to write myself but as I am very anxious to write to you I must get Sister Ellen to do it for me I hope that I shall soon be able to do it myself and not to depend upon others I am reading Sandford and Merton every day I get a peice of poetry by heart and write a copy I have not begun arithmetic yet but I hope I soon shall. Virginia and Mary send their love to you adieu my dear Grand Papa believe me to be your affectionate Grand daughter
