I am an enthusiastic reader of your most interesting little
paper, and would like you to send me a "Who? When? and What?"
chart.
I am up in the mountains for the winter, and there is fine
skating and tobogganing here, and I have also a fine big snow
house. We belong to the "Pontiac Club," and can therefore skate
whenever we want. Wishing your paper much success. I remain
Your fond reader, SEYMOUR U.P.

Copenhagen. He was the author of the famous Fairy Tales which have given
so much pleasure to so many millions of children.
If there are any statistics of the population of the earth since Adam, we
are unaware of them.

At the death of the Emperor Augustus, the population of the earth was
estimated at 54,000,000.
