I am a little girl twelve years old. I live in the Rocky Mountains,
and weigh 115 pounds. I have taken HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE from the
first number, and like it very much. I began eight years ago to
save the pennies and dimes that were given me by the miners, and
bought a heifer with them, and now I have a cow, a two-year-old,
and a yearling. I call my cow Lillie, my two-year-old Minnie, and
my yearling Duke. I also have a pet cat and hen. I call the cat
Tiger, and the hen Daisy. If this letter is printed, I will write
again, and tell you about a four-footed thief who stole the fried
cakes in our cellar.
