Papa brought me the numbers of YOUNG PEOPLE a few days ago. I had
been waiting anxiously for them, and I was so delighted when he
gave them to me. I have known all about Harpers' publications for a
long time. Mamma says that papa took HARPER'S MAGAZINE long ago,
before the war. I like the stories, letter-box, and puzzles in
YOUNG PEOPLE very much, and I have succeeded in getting answers to
some of the puzzles. My pets are cats and dogs, and I would like to
get a parrot. Alabama was my native place, but now I live in
Maryland.
