Cham, Switzerland.

I am a little boy only six years old, and can not write very well, but I want to say how much I like Young People. My mamma and papa have taken Harper's Weekly and Harper's Monthly more years than I can remember.

I like so much to hear all about the pets of the other children. I have not any, but I have a dear little sister called Myra, and she is my pet.

I liked the story "Across the Ocean" very much, but I think "The Moral Pirates" was the best.

My governess is writing this, but soon I hope to be able to write myself, as I have nearly finished my second copy-book. One year ago I could not speak any English, but now I can read short stories, and I am always so happy when Young People comes.
