Not seeing any letters from this place, I thought I would write and
tell you about my pets. I am a little girl nine years old, and live
on a farm, and have to depend on my pets for playmates, as my
little brother is dead, and I have no sister. I have a little gray
kitten which I call Maggie, and my dog is a shepherd, and I call
him Brave. He will speak for something to eat, and shake hands with
me, and when I am at school, will watch until school is out, and
then come and meet me. I have a little colt named Rosa, and a
little calf named Mera, and a black cow named Mink. Our hired man
takes YOUNG PEOPLE this year, and I want to take it next. I read
all the little letters, and I think that "Susie Kingman's Decision"
was splendid, and I hope "Tim and Tip" will be as good. I thought
Jimmy Brown's monkey was funny. I do wish he would tell us some
more of the monkey's tricks. My ma is writing this for me, but I
tell her what to say, as it is such hard work for me to write.
