She is thankful that Mr. Moore trust them to send Linnet to spend the terms with them. She says that they will treat Linnet like a daughter. She says the cost would only be $50. She enjoyed going to Colorado in the summer and would like to go again. She talks about the weather and that farmers are almost done gathering cotton. She is concerned about the Texas problem with renters. She hopes they are revived by the time the letter gets there.

She gives a timetable of where Linnet should be on her way to her house. She is anxious for Linnet to get a full years work and hopes to be moved into the new school in two weeks. She told Linnet to worry about clothes too much because they dress plainly and she will be among friends. She sends best wishes.

She is glad to hear that Linnet is coming to visit. Linnet will share Lulu's room. She mentions what textbooks Linnet will need for school and how to get them. She asks for Linnet to write when she is leaving and when she expects to be at the depot. Lulu is anxious to see her.
