I have a nice auntie in Washington, who sends me YOUNG PEOPLE every
week, and I have all but the first six numbers. I was out at
Shortsville this summer visiting my cousins; and while I was there
we had the play given in YOUNG PEOPLE No. 92, "Mother Michel and
Her Cat," and it was a great success. I was Mother Michel.
I have a toy Mr. Stubbs, sent me by a kind gentleman in Washington
who had read the story of "Toby Tyler." We have three birds-- But
there! I must not write any more, for if I do I fear my letter will
be too long to publish, and I want it to be printed, as I would
like to surprise my auntie. I am glad Mr. Otis is having so good a
time with his little yacht.
