My sister takes your GREAT ROUND WORLD, and I have been reading
it, and enjoy it very much.

I wish that you would tell us how the flying machine is getting
along. Yours truly,

MY DEAR EDITH:

Up to the time of answering your very welcome letter we have no fresh news
of the flying machine. As soon as we hear anything that we are sure is
true we will tell you. EDITOR


DEAR EDITOR:

I wish you would get a pattern of the kite. My teacher reads
your paper, and I am very interested in the newspaper. We have
it in school. I was seven years old on Sunday. Please put this
letter in the newspaper. It is the first one I have ever
written. Yours truly,

HOWELL G.
