St. Louis, Missouri.
When we lived in the country my sister had a pet deer. Its name was Nellie. It was a very pretty creature. When we were in the garden, and were hungry, we used to send Nellie to get us some bread, and the darling little thing would go and get a loaf of bread from grandma and bring it out to us. One day Nellie was running in the woods, and some one shot her. My sister cried very much, and we buried poor Nellie, and put flowers on her grave.

I have been in bed for two months with rheumatism, and I look forward to the coming of Young People with very great pleasure.
I think the picture of "Harry and Dan" is very pretty indeed. I have not been able to walk any distance for more than a year, and I think it would be real nice to have such a pretty goat and sleigh.
I am very glad Young People disapproves of disturbing birds' nests. I always thought it was very cruel.

We think the Post-office Box, and everything in Young People, are interesting. My brother Ernest likes "Toby Tyler" the best.
My little sister Mabel, two years old, can sing every tune she hears once. She likes "Kissing through the Chair," in Young People No. 57. She calls it "Peep Ho." She gets in the rocking-chair every day, and rocks, and sings the first verse over and over for a long time.
