Please find inclosed seventy-five cents from Nellie and Charlie
Rowe for Young People's Cot. They have saved their pennies for this
purpose instead of spending them for candy and the like.
Respectfully yours,
MRS. JAMES B. ROWE.

The dollar I inclose I saved during Lent, but have neglected
sending before now.

Inclosed please find four dollars, which my young people send to
Young People's Cot. There are four of them, May L. Haley, Fred N.
Haley, Charlotte A. Haley, and Annie S. Haley. Little Annie is only
three years old, and of course is too young to know or care
anything about it, but the others want me to send a dollar for her,
and when she is older, they say they will tell her all about it,
and read the papers to her, and she will be so glad that her name
is on the list, and that some little baby is lying in the Cot that
she helped to pay for. My children talk often of that little Cot
that they feel will belong partly to them. I think it was such a
beautiful idea for the children to each give their mite toward
buying it. It seems to me to be something that they will always
think of with real pleasure; it will be a little warm spot in their
hearts that will do them good, and help to make them think more of
those that are not so well off as themselves. If we did not live so
far away, we would only be too glad to send picture-books, toys,
etc. But we can only send kind wishes, and hope that you will soon
get enough money to pay for the Cot.
MRS. C. E. HALEY.
