我爸爸刚刚从集市上回家，带回来了您和汉密尔顿先生的画像。
I am a little girl only 11 years old, but want you should be President of the United States very much so I hope you wont 1 think me very bold to write to such a great man as you are.
我是一个只有11岁的小女孩，但是我非常想让您能够成为美国总统，所以希望你不要因为我这么大胆地给您这样一位伟人写信而觉得我唐突鲁莽。
Have you any little girls about as large as I am if so give them my love and tell her to write to me if you cannot answer this letter.
您有女儿吗？如果有的话请给她们转达我的问好，如果你没法回信的话请让她给我回信。
I have got 4 brothers and part of them will vote for you any way and if you let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you.
我有四个哥哥，有几个是本来就要给你投票的，但是如果你把你的络腮胡子留长的话，我就会让其他那几个哥哥都给你投票。

你要是胡子长一点会很帅的，因为你的脸太瘦了。
All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you and then you would be President.

我爸爸会给你投票，如果我是男人，我也会给你投票的。
But I will try to get every one to vote for you that I can think.
但是我会发动我能想到的所有人给你投票。
That rail fence around your picture makes it look very pretty.
你画像周围那圈栅栏让整张画更好看了。

我有一个小妹妹，她才九周大，但是已经挺聪明了。
