I inclose in this letter $1 that I have saved out of my spending money for the Young People's Cot in St. Mary's Hospital. I hope that it won't be very long before the cot is really ours, and some dear little child made well and happy in it. I am only nine years old, but I hope that you will let me help you all I can.

We had a fair at our church last month, and mamma taught me how to make some flag pen-wipers for the Sunday-school table. They were sold for 25 cents each. I wanted to send some money to Young People's Cot, and mamma said I might send what I could earn; then it would be truly mine. I made five more pen-wipers and sold them, and one gentleman gave me 50 cents for his, which made $1.50. Then I sold some papers, and grandma gave me some money for hanging up my cloak when I came in from school, as I was in the habit of throwing it on the lounge. These altogether made $2. I have two little brothers who are going to try and earn something soon. I am eight years old, and go to a Kindergarten.
