April 29, 1978

Dear Elizabeth,
I hope you have
a wonderful birthday. Thank
you for inviting me. YOu are
a very pretty and sweet
little girl. I hope you
will always stay just as you
are now.

I love you,
Mrs. Schoettl
:)

P.S.—I hope you will read
this book over and over
and always have happy
memories of second grade.

Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White

Thanks to Elizabeth, who says:

“I received this inscription from my 2nd grade teacher in 1978.
I loved my teacher so much that I invited her to my birthday party
and was so happy that she accepted. Charlotte’s Web is the gift
she gave me and reading the inscription STILL makes me smile.”
