I am a little boy just ten years old, and have been reading your
excellent paper for some time. I can hardly wait for it to come.
I'm so anxious to read the continued stories. I liked "Mr. Stubbs's
Brother" ever so much, and think "The Cruise of the Canoe Club"
splendid. I want to tell your readers about what fun we have had
lately. My brother and I thought that we would have a circus. We
put up an acting pole and trapeze, caught a mud-turtle and a
pigeon, and had a spotted cat, which we exhibited for a leopard.
This is my first letter, and I hope you will print it.
