I live on the Mississippi River, and we can see boats from our
house. I think your little paper is so nice. I love to hear the
boats coming, because I then know that my paper will soon arrive. I
have two of the loveliest puppies you ever saw. Their names are
Blanche and Ruby. They are pure white. I have also two cats--Paul
Myrick and Susie Silver. Susie hardly ever comes home. One day
mamma and myself heard a mouse in the wood-box, and we caught her
and put her in the box. She caught the mouse in a hurry. I got a
nice Bible on Christmas, with my name on it, and a large wax doll
too. I have seven dolls now. Good-by.
