We are always so glad to get HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE. Papa sends it
to my largest brother. I have a little brother with long curls.
Sometimes he is taken for a girl, but he don't mind it. We have a
picture of Mozart with long curls. We have five canaries. We had
more, but sent three to papa, and we all sent a kiss by them to
papa. They were so tame they would eat sugar out of my mouth. I
have a big dollie; I call her Daisy; she is very lovely, and can
put her arm around my neck. We go to school here in Paris, and like
it very much, but not so much as I liked my school in Germany. I
wore the blue ribbon for six months last session in school for
getting the highest mark in music. We have vacation now. My large
brother got a prize in drawing. He liked the piece in HARPER'S
YOUNG PEOPLE about Michael Angelo. We go out in the country with
him sometimes when he goes to paint, and we play while he is
sketching. We went to St. Cloud a few days ago, and had a nice
time. We go to Park Monceaux nearly every day with the girl and
play, but it is not so nice as in the country. I like to read the
letters written by the little girls that live in the country. I can
not write a very good English letter, but I hope you will print it.
I can write French, and some German. I am coming back to America
next year, and will be glad to go to school again, but I suppose I
will have to study very hard. My cousin Blanche went home to
America last month in the big steamer _Servia_.
