I am a little girl two years old. I live with my grandparents. My
aunt has been telling me about the cot in St. Mary's Free Hospital,
and I want to send my money for the poor little sick girls and boys
who have nobody to take care of them. My grandpa and grandma give
me money, and I put it into a pretty little shell purse I have. I
send you all I have in my purse now, and maybe I will send you some
more another time.

I inclose fifty cents, the contents of my bank, which I wish to
give for the Young People's Cot. I work for mamma, gathering up
dead leaves, which she pays me for, and I will try and save some
more money to send to you before winter comes. I am seven years
old, and live in Hackensack, New Jersey.
