Fannie W. Ambler. Let me commend you for plain writing. The Queer Story is well done, though with some mistakes. Try again, my dear.
M. Lillie Read. Your Queer Story is much like Fannie’s, almost, but not quite, right. Never mind; there’s another for you. Don’t be afraid of it. Don’t be cast down over any failure, but up and at it again. Train the baby to be a true Pansy. I’m so glad you make any progress.
Nellie Wright. “Nine years old.” Said and done a thousand things or more in that time. Now, suppose you live to be ninety,—my dear uncle has just died at ninety-two,—and you keep on saying and doing, then how many thousand will it be? But all the better if it be all for Jesus’ sake. I like Florida, and you must like Kansas, which gives you “lots of corn and fruit.”

EXTRACTS FROM PANSY LETTERS.
Dear Pansy:
From a tiny child, May, if told to do anything, would do it just a little differently. If told to put a thing on the table, she would say, “I dess will put it on lounge,” and when I answered, “No; on the table,” she would skip along, laughing, “I dess will put it on chair.” But doing a little differently from mamma’s way and God’s way will end in many a heartache Pray that mother and child may yield impliably to the dear Father’s will.
May and her Mamma.
