I live on the St. John's River, opposite Palatka. We have a fine
orange grove. We are having bananas this winter, although most of
our neighbors lost theirs by the cold last winter. We will have
plenty of guavas next summer if we don't have a "freeze," and I
hope we may not. I wish some of the readers of YOUNG PEOPLE were
here; we would have lots of fun. I have a puppy three months old.
His name is Toby Tyler. I hope Mr. Otis will come to Palatka with
his boat. I am nine years old.
