I am twelve years old. I have a little colt, but it is not gentle, it is very wild. I also have a roan horse, named Sabine. Whenever horses are gathered I help to herd them. I like to do it very much. We generally have about three hundred head to herd. I have no pets now, for my little dog died.
I visited Captain H——'s plantation last winter, and I had a very nice time. I saw the men gin cotton, and I drove the horses round in the gin.

I have wanted to write to the Post-office Box for a long time for I like Young People so much, but I thought as there were so many children writing perhaps my letter would not be printed.
I live in a very lonely country. There are no little girls here at all, but I have a good many pets. I have two colts, named Nellie and Dollie, and a puppy named Carlo. Then I have a cat and four little kittens, and six pigeons, and lots of little chickens. I am going to get a pair of canaries very soon.
