Miss Lucy Emily Woodruff
My Dear Granddaughter
I received your vary interesting letter
this Morning, and was vary much
pleased to get it esspecially to see how
well you compose and write. You
are a vary good girl, and will make
a good woman if studying makes
your head ake, you will have to
lay aside your Books for awhile untill
you can rest your briain, and brace
up your system. I think you have done
vary well to get your little savings in the
bank on interest inclosed you will
find $1 to add to it you have been
vary Diligent in procuring a good Education
for one of your age, but there is some
danger of studying to hard for your
health while at your age, so you want
to guard against that I hope you will
