I have a kind friend who sends me YOUNG PEOPLE, and I take much
pleasure in reading it, and love to read the letters as well as any
part of the paper. I live among the Catskills, and have few
pastimes during the winter except coasting, and thus far this
winter we have not had much snow.
This is a very pleasant village, and during the summer months is
crowded with boarders. If Mr. Editor or any of the young people
should come here, I would be glad to show them a very nice cat. We
call him Chub, and he will roll over when I tell him to, and knock
at the door to come in.
I have a pet canary that is very tame. Mamma thinks my letter is
not worth your notice, but I hope you will have some room for it. I
think "Work for Little Fingers" will be a help for something new
for me to make for our country fair, which is held near us every
year. I have had the first premium on everything I have taken there
since I was five years old, and I am now ten.
