LETTERS FROM FORMER INMATES.
Girls.—(We give precedence to the first letter from the
circumstances connected with the history of the writer. She
was found by a police officer on a cold December night, bare-
footed, bareheaded and scaritily clad, seated on the steps of
a building. She was too young to give much account of
herself, except that she had been cast out of doors by an in-
human relative.. She was unable to give any information as
to the street on which she hed resided, and so was kindly
taken in charge hy the officer, andin the morning commit-
ted to the Horse of Refuge. There she fully requited She
care and instruction given her, and in due time was placed
in a good home where she has been well educated and most
affectionately treated. She has even had the opportunity of
acquiring some accomplishments , and has in every respect
proved herself worthy of the attention paid to her. The
script would do credit to many young Iadies with the best
advantages of education. The grateful spirit and case of
expression speak for themselves.)
: DECEMBER 21, 1865.
Your annual letter of remembrance has arrived and with
your expressed desire that I should write, "if only a few
lines." I still retain a most, pleasant and grateful recollec-
tion of the "House of Refuge" and its inmates, particularly
my dear and kind teacher, Miss ———. Does she still con-
tinue with" you? If so, please give her my warmest love.
Tell her I would love to see her, and ask her, please be kind
enough to write to me, and let. me know if any of my old
companions are yet there. I like my home very much, and
have become quite a horse-woman, ride often and frequently
drive Mrs.————out. When I return to Baltimore, one of
my first visits will be to you, for whom I cherish a most
lively and affectionate remembrance. With a grateful heart
I remain. &c. M. E. F.
HARFORD Co., Dec; 17th. 1865.
I know it has been a long time since I have written to any
of you,but there was a protracted meeting at ———, and I
went nearly-every night, and thought I would get converted.
