Please may some of the boys write in defense of the cats, as well
as the girls? We think Augusta would like our cat if she could see
it. It is white, with large black and yellow spots. We call it
Popcorn. The white for the corn that is popped, the yellow for
before it is popped, and the black for that that got burned.
Popcorn and our little dog Felix go fishing with us down in the
woods. She can follow as well as Felix. When Felix has to be
punished, he cries; then Popcorn runs up to him and licks his face,
and we know she is sorry for him. We think so much of both! We had
to go a mile to school last summer, and Felix would start from home
about four o'clock, and meet us sometimes nearly half of the way.
We wondered how he knew when to start. He would be so glad to see
us, he would jump nearly as high as our heads. When we got home,
Popcorn would be waiting for us on the front steps. We like YOUNG
PEOPLE, and are glad Tip didn't die.
We have coaxed mamma to write this for us.
DWIGHT, EDDIE, and CLARE A.
