You have many delightful things to remember about your trip abroad. I hope you kept a journal.
Norwalk, Connecticut.
I am eleven years old, and live in Norwalk in the summer, and in New York city in the winter. I have no brothers nor sisters, except two who are grown up, and I have a brother at college. We are going to New York on the first of next month. I enjoy Harper's Young People very much, and look forward to its coming with great pleasure. As you wanted to hear from any girl or boy who had a garden, I thought I would tell you about mine. I planted in my garden this summer potatoes, onions, tomatoes, strawberries, and celery, besides flowers. I had enough potatoes for the whole family for dinner, so I had them on the table that day, and I hope to have my celery to-morrow. The cook made me some caramels from the receipt you put in Harper's Young People, but it wouldn't harden, so she made a chocolate cake, and I had it on the table one evening. As I have no more to tell about I think I will close.

You were a famous little gardener, and deserve great praise.

I am a little girl nearly eleven years old. I will tell you about my summer trip. I can not tell all the places we went to, but one place was the White Mountains of New Hampshire. There are very fine views, especially from the top of Mount Washington. You would laugh to see the funny little cars that go up and down. It is very steep, and as you go up you see nothing but rocks. Mamma thought it was frightful, but I did not. Well, good-by.
