I have taken YOUNG PEOPLE since the first number, and now I have a
favor to ask. Will you not please give us a story on natural
history? We have had some splendid stories; but I like "The Cruise
of the 'Ghost'" the best of all, though "Tim and Tip" is very good.
I have a splendid large dog. He is an Irish setter, and his name is
Spray. I wish some of the little writers to YOUNG PEOPLE could see
him when I come down stairs in the morning. He is so pleased he
growls as if he were trying to talk. He puts his head on one side,
and looks so funny and wise. We have a very nice museum here, with
a great many interesting things to be seen.
