Dear Sir!

My Dear Sir

I wish you a happy new year I am much pleased to know Sir that you have a good heart for the poor Indians in telling them to be good and fulfill all their dutys[sic] but the principal[sic] thing that I am very glad of is that you take great interest in the poor Indians and in the School children and it made me very glad to hear you speak so good and kind to us on Christmas night. May God bless you is the fervent Prayer of

Very truly Yours
and very obediently
