DADDY-LONG-LEGS (25)

                                              Saturday morning
   I've just been reading this letter over and it sounds pretty uncheerful. But can't you guess that I have a soecial topic due Monday morning and review in geometry and a very sneezy cold ?


　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Sunday
   I forgot to mail this yesterday so I will add and indignant postscript. We had a bishop this morning, and what do you think he said ?

   " The most beneficent promise made us in the Bible is this, ' The poor ye have always with you. ' They were put here in order to keep us charitable.

（※The poor ye have always with you 貧しき者は常に汝らとともにあり。）

　　The poor, please observe, being a sort of useful domestic animal. If I hadn't grown into such a perfect lady, I should have gone up after service and told him what I thought.
※service 礼拝

明日から次の手紙です。
手紙が面白いところですので、クリスマス前まで7~8回、伸びるかもしれません。
勝手な都合をご了解くだされば幸いです。
