"I love you very much.
"M. J."
Here is an artless request from a little English girl:
"Your Majesty,—
"I hear you are taking a holiday in Paris and I think that this must be the best time to write to you, for you will not be so busy as in your own kingdom.
"First of all, I want to tell you that I am an English girl, fourteen years of age, and my name is Mary. I love collecting autographs and so far I have been very lucky and have got some of celebrities, but I have none of a King, except Menelik, who is a black majesty.
"Now I should ever so much like to have a few lines in your handwriting.
"Do be so very kind as to write to me.
"Mary St. J."
