I am eleven years old, and live in Norwalk in the summer, and in
New York city in the winter. I have no brothers nor sisters, except
two who are grown up, and I have a brother at college. We are going
to New York on the first of next month. I enjoy HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE very much, and look forward to its coming with great
pleasure. As you wanted to hear from any girl or boy who had a
garden, I thought I would tell you about mine. I planted in my
garden this summer potatoes, onions, tomatoes, strawberries, and
celery, besides flowers. I had enough potatoes for the whole family
for dinner, so I had them on the table that day, and I hope to
have my celery to-morrow. The cook made me some caramels from the
receipt you put in HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, but it wouldn't harden,
so she made a chocolate cake, and I had it on the table one
evening. As I have no more to tell about I think I will close.
