Eddie is the oldest; then there is Annie (our Meg), then Nelly (that's me), May and Milly (our Beths), Rosie, Rollie, and dear little Carrie (the baby). Eddie goes away to school, and when he comes home for the holidays we have lots of fun, playing cricket, croquet, base ball, and every thing. If you ever want to play any of those games, just come to our house, and you will find plenty children to play with you.
If you ever come to ——, I do wish you would come and see us,—we would like it so much.
I have named my doll after you, and I hope she will try and deserve it.
I do wish you would send me a picture of you. I hope your health is better, and you are having a nice time.
If you write to me, please direct —— Ill. All the children send their love.
With ever so much love, from your affectionate friend,
Nelly.
Mailed to any address, postpaid, on receipt of the advertised price.
