Los Angeles, California.
I am seven years old. I like to read the letters in Young People so much that I want to write one myself. I live in a large orange grove. It is a lovely place, and summer lasts all the year.
My pet is a hen named Tinny. She is so tame I can pick her up anywhere. She has eleven little chickens now. I can not write very well, for I have been to school only eight months.

I think Young People is the nicest little paper that I ever saw. The only pet I have is a dear little baby sister. I am eleven years old, and I have been to a private school two years.
My papa is an editor, and in a year or two I am going to study stenography so that I can report for his paper.
I have two younger brothers, and we are all learning to swim. I can take fifteen strokes.
