I am a little girl seven years old. I do not go to school, as my
mamma teaches me at home. I can read, spell, and cipher nicely. My
brother Waldo takes HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, and my papa has taken
HARPER'S MAGAZINE for years. I love to look at the bound volumes. I
have looked at them as far as Vol. LIII. I had nine dolls, and I
got two more last Christmas; one of these was a boy doll. I put
them all to bed every night, and kiss them good-night. My papa says
he can not remember all their names, but I can. There are three
little girls in the street whom I play with. I have not written
this letter myself, as I can not write well enough yet, but I told
my mamma what to say. Good-by.
