Our grandma sends us HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, which we find very
interesting. We are Americans. We came here partly for our
education, but mostly for our health. I am almost fourteen. I
thought I would write to the Post-office Box, and tell you what I
have seen. We have been to Netley Abbey, which is a very ancient
ruin; it is over eleven centuries old. We have visited Netley
Hospital. While we were there we saw a number of soldiers come in
from the Zulu war. The hospital is a very fine building. We have
also been to Romsey Abbey, and we saw there a plait of hair which
is supposed to be a thousand years old. We have been to Winchester
Cathedral, and saw many ancient tombs. We went to the New Forest,
and saw the place where William Rufus was killed.
