I am a little girl eleven years old, and have taken HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE from the first number. I am just recovering from a severe
attack of diphtheria, which has left me with both limbs paralyzed.
I have a little sister five years old, and her name is Mamie. We
have no pets except a little canary-bird whose name is Dickey; he
is the sweetest little fellow you ever saw. If you wake him up in
the night he will get very angry, and spread out his wings, and
open his mouth wide at you. Has the dear Postmistress ever read the
"Elsie Series"? I have, and think they are very interesting.
Good-by, dear YOUNG PEOPLE.
