I thought you might like to know about "Dr. Pruitt's boys," so I
concluded to write you a letter. I am Will, aged twelve; then there
are Fred, Edward, and Charley. Papa takes HARPER'S MONTHLY, and
mamma takes the BAZAR, and when YOUNG PEOPLE was advertised papa
proposed that each of us give something and take that too. We four
boys earned just one hundred dollars picking cotton last fall, so
we all contributed. We like the paper very much, and watch for its
coming; and we read everything in it.
