My papa is in the army, and we travel about a good deal. We have no
schools out here, but I study with papa. I have a big sister, who
rides on horseback. There are lots of Indians about these
mountains. The soldiers had a battle with them last August. I
suppose you read about it in the papers. General Carr was in
command. My papa was wounded, but he is well now. I take YOUNG
PEOPLE, and love it very much. My sister takes _St. Nicholas_. We
have only one mail a week; the mail-day is Wednesday. There are not
any girls here, or even boys. I like the story called "Talking
Leaves" very much. I am afraid my letter is too long, so good-by.
