I am a little girl eight years old. I have two dolls, and I love
them very much. This is the first letter I have ever written. I
have a canary-bird, and it is a beautiful singer. It is very tame.
Once I was leaning over the cage, and before I noticed it birdie
was pulling my hair. I have two sisters, Bessie and Florrie. My
grandpa has a dog named Ben. He is very much afraid of
fire-crackers. He spent Fourth of July behind the pantry door. We
could not coax him out, even to feed him.
