UPPER ALTON, ILLINOIS.

I have been intending to write to YOUNG PEOPLE for some time. We

all like it so very much. I am so glad Mr. Otis has begun another

story about Toby Tyler. I know it will be splendid. My brother

Frank and I send twenty cents for Young People's Cot, and hope the

Cot will prosper. I am so sorry the trailing arbutus does not grow

here. I have never seen it. But we do have lots of other lovely

wild flowers. We have white, blue, and yellow violets and bluebells

all growing in our yard. I wish I could see the boys and girls that

write to Our Post-office Box. I wish I was able to give some of our

flowers to the poor sick children in the hospitals.
