hammer: Here l come again The last
time wrote told you about my cats.
Haps picked forty pounds of cotton
one day and it did not take me until dark,
either. l also found time to look at grass
hoppers, too. l found they had six legs,
two of them are longer than the others
to assist them in hopping. Haps, did you
ever look at their eyes? They look like
they have spectacles on them. / never
could find their ears. Will some of you
please tell me where they are?
Mr.. Hap, please tell me when the but
tons come. so may get one.
