My little boy and girl, Nellie and Charlie Driscol, each send
twenty cents for Young People's Cot that they have saved of their
own money. They are both very much interested. Nellie calls it the
"baby cot money." They hope to send more some time again.

We have been feeding the corn-sheller, and shelling the corn off
the cobs for eight days. Papa paid Mr. Stevens, the man who turned
the corn-sheller for us, and he paid us. As I worked the fastest,
he gave me $2.70, and Rob and Joe each $2. I send fifty cents to
the Young People's Cot. Rob and Joe are younger than I am, and can
not write. They each send twenty-five cents. Papa will try and get
a dollar bill, and if he can not, he must send it in postage
stamps.

I send you fifty cents for Young People's Cot, which I earned
myself by helping my mamma nurse my baby brother Sunday afternoons.
I am eight years old. I hope all the little girls and boys will
send you some money for the little sick children.

This is a dollar that I have earned myself by bringing shavings and
wood. I am eleven years old. I inclose a one-dollar bill. Maybe I
will send some more some time. I did mean to send it in last time,
but I did not have it all.
