Peaches repeated her lesson
and her prayers and then as had become her custom, demanded that Mickey
write his last verse on the slate, so she might learn and copy it on the
morrow. She was asleep before he finished. Mickey walked softly, cleared
the table, placed it before the window, and taking from his pocket an
envelope Mr. Bruce had given him drew out a sheet of folded paper on which
he wrote long and laboriously, then locking Peaches in, he slipped down to
the mail-box and posted this letter:
DEAR MISTER CARREL:
_I saw in papers I sold how you put different legs on a dog. I have a
little white flowersy-girl that hasn't ever walked. It's her back. A Nurse
Lady told me at the "Star of Hope" how you came there sometimes, and the
next time you come, I guess I will let you see my little girl; and maybe
I'll have you fix her back. When you see her you will know that to fix her
back would be the biggest thing you ever did or ever could do. I got a job
that I can pay her way and mine, and save two dollars a week for you.
