We have to acknowledge a great number of letters this week; so many,
indeed, that want of space prevents publishing them all.
From the Dartmouth Street School, Worcester, we have three letters.
Etta H., Annie H., and Roy R. have sent us delightful little notes,
telling us how much they enjoy THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.
We must congratulate all three of our young friends on their excellent
writing. They are among the best written letters we have received so far.
Etta's is particularly clear and good.
Frederic D. writes a second letter, asking about Crusoe's Island.
We have heard nothing new about Juan Fernandez.
We have, however, written to the Consul at Valparaiso and asked him if he
can give us any information.
We cannot get an answer for several weeks, but when we do all our doubts
about Crusoe's Island will be set at rest.
We thank Swift T., of Yonkers, for his very kind and friendly letter. It
pleases us very much to know that our young friends like the paper and are
anxious to receive it every week.
