I've been a reader of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE quite two years, but
have seen no letter as yet from here, therefore I'll write at least
one from this mountainous part of the State. My country home is in
sight of the Blue Ridge, and one can get a distinct, grand view of
some of its peaks a mile from our home. No one of your little girl
subscribers enjoys the Post-office Box more than myself. In fact,
both big and little folks here appreciate and read most of Harper's
publications. I wish everybody who lives in low flat countries
could at least visit our mountains, and our State's
greatest, curiosity, the Natural Bridge, in Rockbridge County; it is
worth a trip to Virginia just to see that wonderful work of nature.
But I must not write too long a letter, for fear you'll not find
space to publish it; so I'll close by stating that I'm the youngest
of twelve children. With best wishes for our dear kind
Postmistress,
