My Dear Edith:
Up to the time of answering your very welcome letter we have no fresh news of the flying machine. As soon as we hear anything that we are sure is true we will tell you. Editor
Dear Editor:
I wish you would get a pattern of the kite. My teacher reads your paper, and I am very interested in the newspaper. We have it in school. I was seven years old on Sunday. Please put this letter in the newspaper. It is the first one I have ever written. Yours truly,
Howell G.
Baltimore, MD.
Dear Howell:
We are very proud to think that the first letter you have ever written has been to us. Please write again—often. If you will look in the last number of The Great Round World you will see an answer to Sydney G. about the kite. We told him just where to find the pattern for it. Editor.
Dear Editor:
I want to ask you about the great monster, and did they take him to Washington? I am eight years old. Please put my letter in the paper. Good-by. Murray W.S.
Baltimore MD., March 23d, 1897.
