We like the “Letter-box” very much, and enjoy the letters from
Europe. My sister and I have crossed the Atlantic six times.
Last winter we spent in Germany studying. I liked the stories
of “Art and Artists” and “From Bach to Wagner” very much.
Hoping my letter is not too long, and that you will find a
corner for it in the “Letter-box,” as it is my first,
Very truly yours,
CORALIE L. G.

DEAR ST. NICHOLAS: I have heard people say that no one is
perfect, but I guess they did not know you, for the only fault
that any one could possibly find with you is that you don’t
come often enough. You were so much company to me all last
winter! For I live at a summer resort, and the children all go
away in the fall, and there is no school near, and my sister
and I have to be taught by a governess. I forgot to be lonesome
while you were telling me such nice stories.
I am ten years old.
I hope you will live to be a thousand years old, and make every
boy and girl that gets acquainted with you as happy as you make
me. Good-bye, dear, good friend.
Yours forever,
FRANK J. E.

DUBLIN, IRELAND.
DEAR ST. NICHOLAS: I wonder if you ever had a letter from
Ireland. I have an uncle in America who sends you to me; we all
like you very much. The story of “Little Lord Fauntleroy” is
so nice. I have one sister and one brother; also a cousin who
lives with us. I do hope this will be printed, as this is my
first letter to a magazine. I remain, your constant reader,
FLORENCE E.

SPRING HILL, TENN.
DEAR ST. NICHOLAS: I am a little Tennessee girl, and I live
in Maury Co. Mother gave you to me last year for a Christmas
present. Papa took you for me this year; and I think that
“Little Lord Fauntleroy” is the best thing of all. My little
brother is four years old; he likes the Brownies best. He calls
one of our Jersey calves “Dhonabar,” after a horse told about
in ST. NICHOLAS. I have a beautiful little brown pony. His name
is Bun. I am eight years old.
Your little friend,
IRENE M. C.
