I have been taking YOUNG PEOPLE two years. I like it very much. I
wait for its coming eagerly every week. There are so many pleasant
things with which it is associated. Last spring you published a
note from me desiring to exchange. That little note has given me
many pleasant moments--I had nearly said pleasant acquaintances. It
brought me many letters, from every part of the country. I have
answered all, I think. I have yet some quartz crystals, country
postmarks in Southern States, strange rocks or petrifactions cut or
shaped like iron screws, small cones gathered from swamp pines, to
exchange for stalactites, ocean shells, or other curiosities.
