Dear Pansy:
I have taken your magazine for nearly two years. I like it very much. Ever since I began reading the letters, I have thought how I should like to join your band. Now I am going to, although I am afraid you will find me a weedy Pansy. I mean to try and pull out every weed. I have so many faults, I do not know which of them I need to overcome the worst. One of them is not to go right away when mamma calls, but to wait till I forget it.
How I should like to hear from you real often! But I know you have so many Pansies to write to, I will try to be real patient. Mamma likes to read The Pansy as well as I do. We are reading the New Testament together. Every morning when I get up, I take a verse from the Bible to live by, during the day. One verse I try to live by, is: “For even Christ pleased not himself.”
Your loving friend,
Stella Graham.
Until further notice, the address of Mrs. G. R. Alden will be Winter Park, Orange Co., Florida.
