Please accept the inclosed one dollar for Young People's Cot from May Ringwalt, Cincinnati, Ohio. She has taken great pleasure in saving little by little until said amount has been reached. May it help to comfort some little one, blessing him that gives and him that receives. Yours,
M. I. Ringwalt.

I am thirteen years old. I have taken Young People ever since it started. I have had to leave my school. The doctor says I hurt my knee on my velocipede, and I have been doctored ten weeks. I can go without my crutch now some. I am very glad when I am in the hammock to see my Young People coming, and thought about the Cot for little children, so my father has given me two dollars for a birthday present, and I send it for the Cot, and hope it will help some poor little lame boy. He bought me a printing-press, but I am too lame to use it.

The inclosed two dollars and twenty cents are the proceeds of a circus which my brothers, my sisters, and my little friends held recently. I ought to mention Victor, the shepherd dog, who I thought did his part better than anybody else. Some of our mothers contributed the refreshments because we went without fire-crackers. We all voted to send it to you for Young People's Cot. The poor children that occupy the Cot don't have so much fun as we do in sending the money and in the circus.

I send fifty cents, which I earned myself by gargling alcohol when I was sick. I did not like to do it, so mamma said she would give me five cents each time I did it. The money is for Young People's Cot. Yours truly,
Louis How.
