Dear Sneezy: 1 got your letter all
about your going in the woods and
helping make maple sugar. And we
got the box you sent Is and all the
kids said that it was good. 1t seems
funny that you can bore little holes in
a maple tree and get white sap out
and make tinto brown sugar. l won
der why you can't do that to all differ
ent kind trees. If you can get 1t out
OF a maple tree why can't you get it
out of q elm tree or an oak tree? l
asked the teacher about it and she
didn't even know except that you
couldn't. We would have found out

maple trees. We said that we knew
we couldn't get maple sugar out of
them, but we might get some other
kind of syrup just as good. And why
not, we said. And he said it was all
nonsense and that maple trees was
the only kind, but he didn't know any
more than teacher did. l don't see
why they didn't let us and il every
