Dear Bettie,

Our Bed and Breakfast has five beautiful en-suite bedrooms named after the four Carrington Sisters and their mother.  One of the rooms is The Miss Emily Suite, dedicated to Miss Emily Eaton Carrington, a teacher in Mathematics, French, and General Grade Work at the Sunny Side School for Young Ladies.

We have three letters of Emily to her sister Elizabeth. Written at a very young age, these letters showcase Emily’s intellect, wit, and humor. Emily often teased her sister, Bettie, who was repeatedly away caring for family.

We transcribed these letters and, along with the originals, they’ll be framed and hanged in the Miss Emily Suite for everybody to read. To give y’all a peek of what is in one of the letters just click here. Don't forget to turn on your volume.
