BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS.

I am a little girl twelve years old. I read HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE,

and enjoy it very much. We all read it in school. Our teacher gets

it for us. Is he not kind? I have been sick ever since Christmas.

But I have taken my medicine patiently, and hope soon to be well.

My brother and I have a little pet rabbit; it eats blue grass and

drinks milk very readily. I have a pet calf; her name is Daisy; and

a cow whose name is Lily. I have three sisters and two brothers. We

had nice times on Easter. We live in the country, and everything is

so beautiful now. I love the Post-office Box very much, and read it

first every time.

This is my first letter to HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE. Please put it in

the Post-office Box.
