I want to tell you about my baby brother. He is five weeks old, but
has only been down stairs twice, as the March winds have been
blowing very hard. He was born on the 20th of February, and we
think he is so sweet!
There is a wild bush in our yard which bears red blossoms, and I
have been gathering them, with some others, and arranging them in a
box, and they look very pretty. With the red blossoms and pink
peach ones, the yellow buttercups and the lovely little hyacinths,
make it quite a pretty ornament.
I am ten years old. I study spelling, reading, writing, grammar,
French, geography, botany, and arithmetic. My grandmamma teaches me
at home. I hope my letter is not too long. Good-by.
