Amish Love Letters

Chapter 1

Dear Emma, Jesus died for your sins. He loves you. I liked the tomato you drew in class today. You can draw real good.

Matthew handed the note to Emma as they walked out of the one room school house. She took it and smiled at him. Their mothers were best friends so it was only natural that Emma and Matthew would grow up together and be best friends too.

This was the first note Matthew had ever written anyone. At nearly seven years old he was proud of his handwriting and his new writing skills. Emma, being only six, couldn’t read very well yet, but she knew her sister would read it to her on the way home.

“Matthew gave me a note today,” Emma told her sister Sarah. “Will you tell me what it says?” She handed the note to her sister. Sarah was four years older than Emma and took the note with a sly smile on her face.

“A boy gave you a note?” Emma said smiling. “Let’s see what it says.”

She read the note out loud. Emma puffed up a little hearing that Matthew liked her tomato drawing. She wasn’t one to brag but she thought it was pretty good herself.

“I think he likes you,” Sarah said, nudging her sister in a playful way.

“I hope he likes me,” Emma said innocently. “We’ve been friends since we were babies.”

“No,” Sarah said with a laugh. “I think he likes you enough to take you on a buggy ride!”

Emma was confused. “He doesn’t know how to drive a buggy,” she replied.

Sarah rolled her eyes. There was no need explaining this any further. Emma was just too young to understand what she was trying to say.

When they got home Sarah opened the heavy front door and hollered for her mother. Esther walked around the corner, wiping her hands on her apron.

“Hello girls!” she said happily. “How was school?”

“I drew a really good picture of a tomato,” Emma reported. Normally she wouldn’t announce something like that but since someone else had pointed it out first she felt it was ok.

“And she got a love letter!” Sarah added, handing the letter over to her mother.

Esther read the note and smiled. Matthew was as sweet as his mother.

“That’s a very nice note,” she said handing it back to her youngest daughter. “You should keep it in a safe place.”

Esther turned to Sarah. “You two go upstairs and wash up and hurry back down here to help with dinner.”

The girls did as they were told. Before coming back downstairs Emma ran to her closet. She pulled out a little box she kept some of her favorite things in. She opened the lid and saw a bird’s feather, some shiny rocks, and a scrap of soft fabric with delicate pink roses printed on it. She gently tucked the note under the piece of fabric and gave it a little pat as if reassuring the note it was safe inside the box.
