LETTERS AND ANSWERS.

Sacred Heart Academy, Ogden, Nov. 25
1901.
My Dear Aunt Busy: I live in Rock
Springs WyO., and go to school at
Sacred Heart academy. Ogden. / like
to board here; my two brothers board
here with me.
I am nearly II years old; am prepar-
ing to make my first holy communion
next May. / go to Sunday school and
like it very much.
1 am in the fifth grade. We have
games here to play with. The large
girls have basket ball.
We write letters home every week.
and get a letter from mamma. am
glad to her from home.
We have very pleasant time here;
the Sisters are all so good to US.
My little sister, Louise, is only 6. but
she wants to come back to school after
Christmas. 1 think that papa will let
her come then.
I am sure, dear aunt, you are kept
busy reading letters from your nephews
and nieces. and you write them such
kind letters. I read them in The Inter
mountain. Your little niece,
JOSEPHINE MURRAY.
How very pleased Aunt Busy was to
hear from her dear new niece in Og-
den. Aunt Busy thinks her Ogden girls
and boys are simply perfect. She hard
ly ever hears from Rock Springs, and
how she would love to discover a few
nieces and nephews up there.
You write a very nice letter, dear
and Aunt Busy hopes to hear from you
very often for the future. She is glad
to know that you like your school. The
Sisters are always good to everybody,
Josephine. Aunt Busy knows this, be-
cause she was educated by them. Con-
vent girls should always try to live up
TO the teachings of the Sisters. Money
cannot pay for the interest they ever
take in their pupils. Write soon again,
dear.

We enjoyed the many trips we made by

the insane asylum is; also the pene-
ttehllary work house, house of correc-
ton, poor house and other state build
ings. Their surroundings are beautiful
even e the inmates are suffering. You
