Two of my little friends have written to this dear paper, and so I
thought I would. I live in the city of Buffalo, and I would not
change to any other city for anything.
My sister will visit New York this winter, and she is going through
the building where HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE is published; and then I
will write another letter, and tell you how she likes it.
I have taken this paper ever since the first number; and even papa
and mamma like to read it.
My brother has a piece of wood off Washington's house at Mount
Vernon, and a piece of bomb-shell which was thrown from Fort Porter
over to Fort Erie; and he has a piece of rope that was cut off the
bell of an old Dutch church, New York, at the time of the
Revolution. My grandpapa can remember when Canal Street, New York,
was nothing but a canal.
