My teachers nameisMiss Kellogg, my superintendent’s Mr. Silsbee. Our pastor is Mr. Martin. We have a camp ground here, and we have ctutp meeting every year. There is a river here that you can ride up to the camp ground on. There is not much business carried on,here, for it is not a very large place. I have no sisters or brothers. I had two sisters, nut both died. I have no pets only a bird and a hen and a rooster. 1 guess 3 ou are getting tired of such a long letter, so I will close.
