I am a little girl twelve years of age. I live in the country. I
thought I would write and tell you about my pets. I have a little
Alderney calf; its name is Baby Mine, and it follows me all around.
I have a little colt two years old; its name is Celeste. My uncle
is a stock raiser, and when my brother was eight years of age and I
was six he took us to his pasture and told us each to pick out a
colt. Those colts are now six years old. Mine is named Blaze. My
brother has two colts, one named Rosalie T. and the other Roxie. I
have a Spitz dog named Beauty; he got into a fight not long ago,
and was badly hurt. I have two kittens named Budgy and Toddie. I
have a ball with a string tied to it for my kittens. I have four
canary-birds and a beautiful red-bird. I have been taking music
lessons ever since I was eight years old. This is the first letter
I have ever written.
