I am a little girl nearly seven years old. We have no live pets in
the city, but my little sister Anna and I have fourteen dolls. I am
thankful to say they are very healthy; none of them have had the
mumps or _cook_ing-cough, as my little sister calls it. In the
summer we all go to Long Island. There we have a pony, two cows,
one calf, two cats, a kitten, and some chickens. We have great fun
bathing. I am writing this myself, and if you think it is nice
enough to print, I shall be the proudest little girl in New York
city.
