I am a little girl, and I live in the country. I wish to inform
Henry F., who is so sorry for the country boys and girls, that his
pity is thrown away, for when we go to the city--and I know of none
in these parts who have never been there--and return to see the
green grass, and fields bedecked with flowers, we think this is far
superior to the noisy elevated railroads of the city. We have a
great deal of fun here in winter. There is quite a high hill, to
which we take our sleds, and ride clear down to the bottom, and
then across a pond. Sometimes three or four get on a sled at a
time. I go to school, and study reading, spelling, mental and
practical arithmetic, geography, grammar, and history. I like
history best. I think HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE is the nicest paper I
have ever read. I like the Post-office very much.
