pretty stones and leaves. Then I will send them some of my pretty
things. I will put them in a tin case, and papa will send them in
the Post-office.

I see the children telling about their pets. I have a little dog
that can turn somersaults. He shuts doors when you tell him to,
and gives you his paw if you ask him in French. He is a black and
tan. Then I have a pet kitten, and I tie a blue ribbon round its
neck. It jumps through my arms; but it is too fond of staying out
all night on the fences. I have seventeen dolls. The largest is a
Japanese baby, and is as large as a live one. Another doll is nine
years old, and is named Shawnee. I have a very large baby-house. I
wrote to Mamie Jones, and sent her some flower seeds to exchange.
Will some other little girl exchange some with me?

named Phanor. He is not as big as a rabbit. Je parle Francais
aussi bien que l'Anglais.

_April 8, 1880_.

I am a little girl eleven years old. I was out in the woods
to-day, and I found this little hepatica which I send you.
Although I live farther north than many of the children, I have
found a spring flower as early as most of them. If that li
