I hope you will not think it is impolite that I should write this note to you when you wish to keep yourself a secret.  Please believe I do not mean to be impolite or try to find out anything at all; only I want to thank you for being so kind to me--so heavenly kind--and making everything like a fairy story.  I am so grateful to you, and I am so happy--and so is Becky.  Becky feels just as thankful as I do--it is all just as beautiful and wonderful to her as it is to me. We used to be so lonely and cold and hungry, and now--oh, just think what you have done for us!  Please let me say just these words.  It seems as if I OUGHT to say them.  THANK you--THANK you--THANK you!
