Do you know I have read you for over three years, and I think you
are _just splendid_! I want a badge to help me overcome the fault of
fretting. When things don't go to suit me I am apt to fret. Near this
town where I live there are prairie dog-towns, where prairie dogs,
owls, and rattlesnakes all live together in one hole! I should think
they would fight and kill each other, and I expect they do. I learned
that piece from THE PANSY, "The Little Quaker Sinner." I think it is
real pretty. I like the story about the Deckers best of anything in
THE PANSY, but I like everything in it. I take the magazine to our
school, and the teacher reads the story about Nettie and Jerry, aloud;
the scholars all like it so much they can hardly wait until the next
chapter comes. I have a brother named Paul. I would like to correspond
with some Pansy Blossom; a little girl of about my own age.
Good-by,
Jessie Moxon.
