They were both very earnest , and both very ignorant . But after a great deal of consulting over every word , the writing began , they really thought , to look quite like a proper letter . ` Yes , Uncle Tom , it begins to look beautiful , ' said Eva , gazing on it with delight . ` How pleased your wife will be , and the poor little children ! Oh , it is a shame that you ever had to go away from them ! I mean to ask papa to let you go back , some day . ' ` Missis said that she would send down money for me , as soon as they could get it together , ' said Tom . ` Young Mas ' r George , he said he 'd come for me . He gave me this dollar as a sign , ' and Tom drew the precious dollar from under his coat . ` Oh , he is sure to come , then , ' said Eva , ' I am so glad . ' ' I wanted to send a letter , you see , to let 'em know where I was , and tell poor Chloe that I was well off , 'cause she felt so dreadful , poor soul . ' ' I say , Tom , ' said Mr. St. Clare , coming in at the door at this minute . Tom and Eva both started . ` What 's this ? ' Mr. St. Clare went on , coming up and looking at the slate . ` Oh , it 's Tom 's letter . I 'm helping him to write it , ' said Eva . ` Is n't it nice ? ' ' I would n't discourage either of you , ' said her father ; ` but I rather think , Tom , you had better let me write your letter for you . I 'll do it when I come home from my ride . '
` It is very important that he should write , ' said XXXXX , ` because his mistress is going to send money to buy him back again , you know , papa .
