I go to school, and we have an exercise of spelling the school
down. We also speak pieces. I have been at school four terms, and
have not missed a day. I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much. I think "Toby
Tyler," "Mildred's Bargain," and "Susie Kingman's Decision" all
just splendid. I live on a farm a little way from Lake Champlain,
and it is very pleasant here. We went boating a few weeks ago. My
little cousin, two years old, was up from Burlington, and she
thought it a treat to play in the sand and water. I have a little
sister who is seven years old, and I am nine.

I have one bound volume of YOUNG PEOPLE with my name on it. The
next is to be sister's. We have read almost all the stories, but I
have not read any that I liked so well as "Toby Tyler." I want to
see the end of "The Cruise of the 'Ghost.'"
I have a little fox. He will eat almost anything, but prefers raw
lamb. I love him dearly. He follows me around. I am nine years
old.

I do not take HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, but my cousin, who is making a
long visit here, does, and I like it very much. I want to tell you
about a dog I had last summer. As soon as you began to scold him,
he would sit down and look up at you so pitifully, and put first
one paw up and then the other, as though he were begging you to
stop. His name was Sam, and he was such a good dog! He is dead now.
I am eleven years old, and I have a cat that is ten, and looks just
like a tiger. I hope you will print this, for I have never seen any
of my letters in print. Please tell me if you let others than
subscribers write and send "Wiggles."

All little readers, whether they are subscribers or not, may send
"Wiggles," and write to the Post-office Box.

I have never written very many letters, but then I am only eight
years old. When my grandfather was in Washington as a Senator, my
letters were a source of great amusement to him, and he made a very
prompt correspondent. The story of "Toby Tyler" was a fine thing. I
was sorry when it ended. I have a lot of pets, and a splendid
little garden that I cultivate myself. Tom McClellan, my cousin and
constant companion, has gone to the country, and I am lonesome. My
pony's name is Ribbon. I have six geese, fifteen chickens, and one
pig. My dog is dead. I am your champion friend.
