My cousin made me a Christmas present of this paper, and I like it
very much. I think "The Cruise of the 'Ghost'" and "Paul Grayson"
are very nice stories, and I wish Jimmy Brown would write another
story soon. Mr. Otis's stories are very nice. I have a cunning
little ram that plays with me, and I have named him "Frisky." My
sister has a little turtle or terrapin which is only a little
larger than a fifty-cent piece. A friend of mine has a large goat
named Billy, and a little sulky in which he rides around. Will you
tell me if scrap-books are acceptable for Young People's Cot in St.
Mary's Hospital, New York?
