I am a little boy almost seven years old. My papa gave me HARPER'S
YOUNG PEOPLE for a present last Christmas. I enjoy hearing my
grandmamma read it very much. I live in Ann Arbor, where the
Michigan University is located. I go to school every day, and I
expect, if I live, to go by-and-by to the university. Would it not
be strange and pleasant if I should there meet some of the little
friends that write such interesting letters for the Post-office
Box? I live with my grandpapa and grandmamma, for my dear mamma
died when I was four months old. I have not many pets, but I love
to play marbles. Do not some of the little boys I read about like
to play with them too? I had a large bag of the most beautiful
marbles ever seen sent me from my uncle living in California.
