Many thanks for your kind letter.
We will be glad to chat with you about the mines in Mexico as soon as we
can find space.
THE GREAT ROUND WORLD is a _news_paper. We try to tell you week by week
of the important events that have been happening in the world. We have
therefore but little room in our pages for any stories that are not
closely connected with some recent event.
To give you pleasure we will endeavor to make room in the earliest
number possible.
In the mean while, will you not send us an account of the mine to which
your father has gone? He has probably written home to you and told you
some interesting things which we should all like to know. Won't you
write us another letter, giving us your father's account of the mine he
has gone to?
