Baltimore, Maryland.

I look forward to the day Harper's Young People comes with very much pleasure. The stories are very amusing, and the letters are very nice indeed. All seem to like "Mr. Stubbs's Brother" very much. I like it too. I am nine years old, and I have had three birds. One poisoned itself eating the leaves of the trumpet-vine; another broke its leg; the other died a natural death. And now my other little bird is living, and is very tame. I have never written to Harper's Young People before, but I hope my first trial will be successful.

I am a little girl seven years old. I want to tell you about my pets. I have two kitties; one is named Tabby, the other is named Jumbo. I did have a little rabbit, but Tabby caught it and ate it. I can play four tunes on the organ. As this is my first, please publish it.
