could I would like to talk to the people up in Mars, if there
are any to talk to. My teacher's name is Miss Davis, and she
reads THE GREAT ROUND WORLD to us.

DEAR MR. EDITOR:

I have a book by the name of "In Mythland." I like it so much
that I thought I would write and tell you about it, so as other
children seven years old like me would know of it, and could
read it. Mother reads THE GREAT ROUND WORLD to me every
week, and I like it very much. Mother is reading me a book
called "Hans Brinker; or, The Silver Skates." A story of life in
Holland. By Mary Mapes Dodge. My book has many pictures of
Holland in it.

Yours truly,
THEODORE S.K.
