Ginger Brook Hollow OrphanageGinger Brook Hollow Orphanage


All of the orphans have been adopted, but memories of being sisters in the orphanage and the bond formed with Grandma Sunday still remain. Of course the girls would have written letters to each other from time to time, and with so many little girls there is bound to be some news from somewhere. You will find a copy of their letters as they are mailed here in the orphanage.

Dear Meg, I loved hearing from you and all the sisters in the chain letter, but I miss just talking to each of you. I especially miss being with you and Emmaline on projects. My mother is wonderful, but I can’t tell her the deepest thoughts of my heart. It takes a special person to be able to share those things.

Dear Naomi, I was so glad to receive your letter. I know we have all been wondering how you are doing. I will pass it on to the rest of the girls so they will know and be able to write to you too. I am really glad that we got to know you before we were all separated.

Dear Louisa, Right after Christmas my father put me in charge of ordering seeds. Because of all you taught us in our attic academy I know about these things. He and my mother were surprised how much I know. When I explained how we shared our talents and interests with each other they were impressed, and my father said I could order a special kind of seeds for you to add to your garden.

Dear Jo, I just couldn’t wait for the letter chain to write to you. Besides, there are some things I wouldn’t say to everybody. I love that you named the black mare for me. I still do love licorice. The hardest thing is that I am not able to get it often. I live in a very nice section of the city and instead of a general store like Harold’s there are rows of little shops in this part of town.

Dear Kathryn, While I was traveling I lost the addresses from all of you. I have been very sad. Papa told me to send you a letter at Amber Fields. He said Mr. Woods would be able to find you and maybe you could send me the addresses for all of the sisters again. If you can possibly tell them some of my news when you write to them I will be very happy.
