Dear Mr. Editor:
I am nine years old, and like to read about Spain and Cuba in your paper, The Great Round World, because it makes it plainer to me than the daily papers do. A long time ago I wanted to go there, but I have changed my mind. One reason why I wanted to go was, Cuba has been fighting bravely, and the murderous Spaniards have no mercy for men, women, or children, if they sympathize with the Cubans.
Wishing your paper years of success, I remain,
Your fond reader,

Dear Editor:
I like The Great Round World much better than the history I studied before it. The reason I like it is because it tells the news of the world. I enjoy reading it so much, I am glad to see another come. I hear so much about Cuba and Spain, and other matters. Do you think there is any prospect of the Cubans gaining independence?
I must stop now, but I still remain,
Your affectionate reader,
Forest V.
Scotland Neck, N.C., March 8th, 1897.
Dear Forest:
We think it very likely that Cuba will gain her freedom before long. Editor.
