I am a little boy seven years old. My mamma gave me HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE for my birthday present in December. I can not read yet, but
mamma reads the whole paper to me, except "Talking Leaves"--we have
not the first chapters of that. I hope I soon will be able to read;
I am learning to spell now.
I have a little sister named Bertie, and a cat named Topsy. My
sister is three years old. She talks all the time. Mamma kept her
out of the room when I was sick.
I am always glad when Tuesday comes. I wish we could have a
HARPER'S every day.
Mamma is writing this for me. When I learn to write, I will write
again.
