Many thanks to the writer of the following:-
New York, March 15th, 1842.
Dear Mr. Merry—The following lines are from one who has been both instructed and amused by your writings, and although a very youthful subscriber, she begs you will accept them as a small offering from the heart of
Margaret.
The name of Merry long will be
Remembered well, and loved by me.
Not all the works of ancient lore
Transmit to youth so sweet a store
Of learning true, in nature’s dress,
The garb so simple, yet the best;
