As I have seen no letter from here, I thought I would write, and
maybe you would publish it. I am a little girl eleven years old. I
live in the country near Frederick city. I have a dear little
brother; his name is Charley. He is a little naughty sometimes,
though. Charley has three dogs--their names are Sport, Jack, and
Butty--and he has a very pretty Alderney calf, also ducks and
chickens. He is very kind to them. My aunt Kate gave me YOUNG
PEOPLE for a Christmas gift. I like it very much. I have twelve
little cousins; we go to school together, and have very nice times.
I send my love to you, Mrs. Postmistress, and to all the little
girls and boys.
