As the day is rainy, we have been looking over HARPER'S YOUNG
PEOPLE, and seeing so many nice letters in Our Post-office Box. I
thought, by way of variety, I would send one from Harford County. I
have two sisters. One is a teacher, and she is going to read some
pieces out of your paper to the children in her school.
We have a colt named Pinafore. The other day I turned another
horse, with a halter on, into the same field with him. Pin caught
the halter in his mouth, and led him about as he had seen us do. I
have a Scotch terrier dog named Jack. I hitch him to a little
wagon, and he is better trained than the speckled pig in No. 132.
I think your paper is just splendid, but like to read "Mr. Stubbs's
Brother" the best of all. I went to see Jumbo in Baltimore.
