FLATONIA, TEXAS, _December_ 15, 1881.
I send you my _Three Little Kittens_ book for _all_ the children in
_that_ room. I send you a dime for that bed you wrote about. Papa
read us that letter, and our black boy said he wanted to send a
dime too. His name is Nobe Taylor. He has lived with us for nine
years, and nursed me when I was a baby. He is big and fat. This is
all I've got to send. Aunt Net sent me the book from Alabama last
Christmas. Our school-teacher is going to give us a Christmas tree.
I can't write good enough, and got papa to write this for me.
