Dear Mr. Clemens,

I believe that you are away in the country—“Monadnock”—which I have not seen—where you were so kind to invite Momma & me—but we could not visit Oh I wish that I could be there now, dear Admiral Clemens! It would be so wonderful to see your kindly face, & hear your voice again dear Grandpa it is very lonely here

You promised to teach me billards dear Grandpa have you forgot

I wish I knew why you are angry with me. I had thought that sixteen was a hopeful age for it would allow more freedom, even Momma must concede. When you gave me books & encouraged my poems, Mr. Clemens it seemed you had hope for me, in two years I will go away to college & be a “young lady”—I had not thought that was shamful

I hope that you will write to me soon, I am feeling very sad for I am the little girl who loves you,

Your Devoted Friend, Madelyn Avery
