Blackfoot, Oneida County, Idaho.
I thought I would write a letter, as I have seen no letters from this part of the country. My brothers Willie and James and I sent 50 cents each to get your nice paper. I am the oldest, so I wrote for it, and had it come in Willie's name, because he thought it would be so nice to have it addressed to him. We have no schools here, and we study at home.

I am almost ten years old, and I live in Kentucky, on the Ohio River, and first and last have lots of fun. I have the cutest dog. His name is Dodger. He is only a puppy, but can shake hands and carry sticks like anything. Our whole family mourned Mr. Stubbs's sad death. I have some queer stones and pebbles that I found in our Kentucky caves and creeks and on the hill-sides, that I will exchange for things from other States.

Some fifty days ago I sent to a boy in Mankato, Minnesota, 250 postmarks, he agreeing to send Indian relics in exchange. I have asked him to send them three times, but he will not answer. If he is out of relics, he ought to return the postmarks or send some word.
