"Did you ever get a letter?
I did the other day.
It was in a real envelope,
And it came a long, long way.
A stamp was in the corner
And some printing when it came,
And the one that wrote the letter
Had put 'Miss' before my name.
Then there came a lot more written,
I forget now what it read,
But it told the office people
Where I lived, mamma said.
Don't you s'pose those letter-persons,
If they hadn't just been told,
Would have thought 'twas for a lady
Who was awful, awful old?
For it looked real big and heavy,
The outside was stuck with glue,
So they couldn't know I'm little,
I don't think they could. Do you?"
