I have taken HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE from the first, and have all the
numbers except one or two. I liked "Toby Tyler" ever so much, and
think the new story is fully as good. I have a canary-bird that I
am trying to tame. I let him fly around in the room for five or ten
minutes every day. But as this is my first letter, I will say
good-by for this time.
