I must write, dear Young People, to tell you how I love you. Through you I have made the acquaintance of little "Wee Tot." I have sent her some Lake Michigan shells, and she has sent me some lovely ocean curiosities, some of which are star-fishes, sea-urchins, and beautiful shells.

I would like to exchange slips of wax-plant, sweet-scented geranium, and fuchsias with any readers for more ocean curiosities, only I wish some one would please tell me how to send them safely.

I like to read history, and about brave men, and I think "The Story of the American Navy" is splendid.

I am collecting postage stamps, and have over one hundred duplicates, which I would like to exchange with the readers of Young People.

My sister takes Young People, and I read it every week. The story of "The Moral Pirates" was splendid. I work out all the puzzles, and read the stories and the letters.
