I am a little girl nine years old. I have five dollies; their names are Katie, Jessie, Jemima, Daisy, and Ella. I have had Jemima eight years. I have a bedstead, and a carriage in which, on fine days, I take them out riding. I also have a trunk, and lots of other things. I have never been to school, and only began to write one year ago last February, and I hope you will be able to read this letter.

I suppose Jemima is the favorite of the five dollies, as you have had her almost all your life. You write very well indeed.

Our grandma sends us Harper's Young People, which we find very interesting. We are Americans. We came here partly for our education, but mostly for our health. I am almost fourteen. I thought I would write to the Post-office Box, and tell you what I have seen. We have been to Netley Abbey, which is a very ancient ruin; it is over eleven centuries old. We have visited Netley Hospital. While we were there we saw a number of soldiers come in from the Zulu war. The hospital is a very fine building. We have also been to Romsey Abbey, and we saw there a plait of hair which is supposed to be a thousand years old. We have been to Winchester Cathedral, and saw many ancient tombs. We went to the New Forest, and saw the place where William Rufus was killed.
