Beloved Teacher.

I trust you will pardon me for troubling you again – but I cannot wait till morning to tell you how much I regret the replies I made this morning I did not know- then what possessed me, but I do know now I received a postal that explains what, and why I awakened at three o'clock As Written: oclock this morning and slept no more, you know from the bottom of my heart that you are the last one that I would willingly wound. To be dismissed As Written: dissmissed from the class I should ever regret, but that would be easier borne than to know that I was the cause of a single sorrow, to you who have been more than a mother to me, and I know though you thought it best to chastise me, you would sometimes think of me kindly. I started to follow you to ask your forgiveness but was opposed, I said to the student I will apologize As Written: apologise in the class tomorrow

I trust you will pardon me this time and I will watch hereafter As Written: hearafter that the enemy does As Written: dose not come upon me unawares

yours in sadness
M. A. D. Brown.
