We take the YOUNG PEOPLE (my two little sisters and myself), and we
read in the Post-office Box your letter to the children, asking us
to help endow a cot in the little folks' ward, to be called the
Young People's Cot. We wanted to do something to help you, so we
called our little neighbors together, and read them your letter. We
talked it over, and concluded to have a little fair. We did not
expect to make much, as there were so few of us; but we did the
best we could, and held our little fair Thursday, September 15. We
inclose the proceeds, $6.75, hoping it will help you in the good
work. It will please us very much, if you have received this, to
let us know through the YOUNG PEOPLE.
