I read YOUNG PEOPLE carefully every week. My teachers at school and
also my Sunday-school teachers think it just the best paper ever
published for children. Seven other little girls about my age are
going to take it, and we all live in West Street. Worcester is a
busy city. We have lots of factories and machine shops. We also
have good schools, and pretty streets, and a large number of fine
residences. Almost everybody is prosperous here, at least I think
so, because everybody has plenty to do, and no one needs be idle.
There is work for all who wish to work. We are going to have a fair
at our church to assist the people in the Southwest who have
suffered by the terrible floods, and I hope it will be successful.
The letters from the children which you are so kind as to publish
always please me very much. There was one from Florida, not long
ago, which was very interesting, and I hope there will be another
one from the same writer. There was a nice letter from Cohasset,
Massachusetts, about three months since, signed "Harry," which told
your readers about Minot's Ledge Light-house and the ocean, which
all my friends thought very nice and pleasant. My friends who read
that letter about the beach, and the bathing, and the ships, and
other things which Harry told us about, hope he will send another
letter.
