this morning from Bangor. together
with another package of mail that had
been addressed to my mothers house
and at first l was at a loss to under

letter should be written. as | knew of
no one of that name, and furthermore
the house in Bangor is not the number
written here. but is the next house
above. Suddenly all came to me.
This letter came from my little sis
ter who is with her mother and broth
er in Rome and was intended for one
of her dolls. The little girl has written
many letters to her dolls. sending them
to little friend in the next house In
these letters she talks to the dolls as
though they were her children. She
has one doll named Nellie and this let

not addressed properly, left it at our
