Your interested readers, Puss-in-boots Carabas Corsando
Camilla van Kleeck: The article you wish is entitled "Lady Bertha," and was printed in St. Nicholas for December, 1880.
Easton, Mass.
Dear St. Nicholas: This is the first year I have ever taken you and the first year I have ever lived on a farm. I enjoy reading your stories and enjoy living on a farm. When I lived in the city I could not have as many pets as I can out here. Neither should I have had you. You are sent us through the kindness of a Mr. Ames, to whom I should like to extend my thanks through your columns. I also wish to thank you for making your pages so interesting to us boys and girls.
Yours truly, W. S. B.
St. Louis.
Dear St. Nicholas: I have taken the St. Nicholas for three years, and I like it very much. I take it for my little sister now, but always read it first myself, and enjoy it very much, and so does my little sister. I send it to her by mail after I am through with it.
