I have never yet seen a letter from Stuttgart in the Post-office
Box, so I thought I might write and tell how much a little German
girl enjoys YOUNG PEOPLE. My papa is a German officer, but my mamma
is an American; so I can speak and read English as well as German,
though I can not write it as well. My grandmamma has taken your
paper for me ever since I could read English. I do not go to
school, but have private lessons at home. I learn German, French,
English, and music. I have a dear little sister, whose name is
Roberta. She is two years old, and can speak English, French, and a
little German. I have a canary-bird and two dogs. I have one very
pretty dolly, whose name is Lili. There was a good deal of skating
this winter. I skated every day. I like very much to read the
Post-office Box, and hope my letter is not too long to be printed.
I send you one dollar for Young People's Cot. I am in my tenth
year.
