Carrie Peocock


Sunday, March 8, 1863

Dear Uncle George,
     Papa is going to help me write to   you. Uncle Charlie has been home and I wished you were here, too. He came in the night. I was awful glad to see him.
     I wanted to go to Sunday School today, but it has been snowing. I have learned a whole Psalm. I have almost read my second book through.
     Mama sends a kiss to you and of course I send one, too, or two.
                   From your niece,
                      Tute

Read the letter Carrie wrote to her Uncle George when she was eight years old. Does her writing seem formal for a child of today?
