And sometimes I pout when I get mad. I go off by myself, often, and ask the Lord to help me to quit such a habit. Please help me to overcome such a fault. Now my little sister Pixie wants to belong to our Band. Her fault is selfishness; she thinks she ought to have everything that is pretty. She tries to tear my PANSIES every time she gets them. Still, she loves to read them. Mamma and I think they are ever so nice. I won’t let Pixie have my PANSIES because I want to keep them nice; she says mamma ought to subscribe for her. I hope she will grow better as she grows older; she is very young. Now my brother Tippie, he wants to join us; he is so contrary, he don’t know what to do. But mamma says he isn’t contrary with anybody but Pixie and me. Please let me have a letter of my own from you.
