I wonder if all the boys who patronize the "exchange" column have
had the experience I have. I advertised to exchange some pictures I
had for stamps, and received about sixty letters. I could exchange
with only one, and to the rest I have written, and sent their
stamps back. Those six stamps have cost me about two dollars. I
think hereafter I will buy what stamps I want. I hope I shall not
receive any more stamps.
I enjoy the YOUNG PEOPLE very much. My papa is a printer, and I
have learned to set type. We have fine times going out in the woods
after wild plums and grapes.
