We are two little brothers away down in Va. We have taken THE PANSY for
four years. We like it more and more, and we love you very much. We
have two bad habits. We don’t keep things in place and we dispute with
each other. We found a bumblebee’s house in a part of an old barn. It
had fifteen apartments and two ways of entering them. The doors were
little round caps which looked something like stiff, dark brown paper.
Our love for you and all the Blossoms.
Your little Pansies,
DAVIS WILSON.
R. P. WILSON.

DEAR PANSY:
The boys in our society are making banners and books for the children
in the hospital. The girls are sewing dresses for the little orphans
who are found; they have hardly any clothes to cover them when they are
found. Our Sunday-school teacher has taken a great deal of interest
in our society. She has given us twenty-three books, and a great many
cards. We have learned a good many missionary hymns from the cards.
We have a library of sixty-three books; and a friend is going to give
us some more. We meet every Saturday at my house; we are going to use
our money to help provide schools for little colored children. There
are about thirty members of our society. We all want to see you; we
wish you would come and visit us. We will be much obliged to see you
any Saturday between half-past two and half-past five. I must bid you
good-by.
Your faithful friend,
MILLY.

DEAR PANSY:
I would like to join the P. S. And I will try to overcome the habit
of talking back. I am afraid I will have hard work and will need much
help. I have taken THE PANSY for four years, and I like it ever so
much. I like “Reaching Out” the best of all. Mother thinks “Hedge
Fence” was the best, for boys. I have been in school for two winters. I
am nine years old. I belong to a Bible class.
With a little of grandma’s help, I got ten new subscribers for THE
PANSY. When you go West, won’t you stop off and make us a visit?
Because you would find lots of friends here. There are four of us in
this family, grandma, papa, mamma, and I. And we will all be glad to
see you. We all feel acquainted with you, because we have two of your
pictures, and lots of your books.
Mamma says if I am a Pansy I must be a bronze one. Can you guess why?
Some time I will tell you “Where I Went and What I Saw,” in a summer
trip; but this summer I am to be one of the “stay at homes.”
Your friend,
KIMBALL GREENOUGH.

DEAR PANSY:
In “Where I Went, and What I Saw,” you once told about some Bible
verses, the first letters of which would spell “Our Sabbath School.”
I thought I would find some like them:—
