To the Editors Of the American Telegraph
GENTLEMEN: We do not know that it is Gus
tomary for very young persons to address the
editors of paper but the many benefits we
have received through your columns encourage
US to present our thanks, and also our petition,
that you will continue to appropriate corner
of your paper for the especial benefit of the ju-
veniles that compose a school. Our teacher
frequently chooses to enlighten our minds with
selections from the best papers of the day, and
among the subjects chosen of late have been the
beautifully simplifed pieces on Mechanism, by
MIR. ]. Holbrook. Being already acquainted with
that gentleman's Geometry and Geology we en-
tered upon the reading of Mechanism with a
great deal of pleasure, and feel resolved to pur-
sue the subject to its close. Consequently, we
formed ourselves into committee, and passed
resolution to appropriate portion of our
allowance of cake and candy money to sub
scribing for your paper the remainder of our
school session; and, after our vacation, if you
continue such profitable pieces as mechanism,
geology, &C., we shall again record our names
as subscribers. Please send your paper to Mrs.
Kesley's seminary for young ladies, south b
street, Capitol Hill, and you will oblige
