Dear "HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE,"--My brother Paul takes HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE, and I think it is a very nice paper. I was eight years old
the 7th of September. I have a sister who is four years old. And we
have a horse named Dick; he is gentle and a very nice horse, and
will eat apples as well as any boy can. He will shake hands with
either leg. I go to school, and I am already in the Third Reader.
My teacher's name is Miss S. And we have got a calf called Rosy,
and she is a very gentle and nice calf, and we have a pretty wild
cow.
