Page 148 - The Story of My Lif

My Dear Mr. Anagnos:—You cannot imagine how delighted I was to receive a
letter from you last evening. I am very sorry that you are going so far away. We
shall miss you very, very much. I would love to visit many beautiful cities with

you. When I was in Huntsville I saw Dr. Bryson, and he told me that he had been

Wilhelmina. She is a dear little girl, and when she is old enough she will be the
queen of Holland. If you go to Roumania please ask the good queen Elizabeth
about her little invalid brother, and tell her that I am very sorry that her darling
little girl died. I should like to send a kiss to Vittorio, the little prince of Naples,
but teacher says she is afraid you will not remember so many messages. When I
am thirteen years old I shall visit them all myself.

I thank you very much for the beautiful story about Lord Fauntleroy, and so does
teacher.

I am so glad that Eva is coming to stay with me this summer. We will have fine

Simpson is coming home soon. Mildred and I had our pictures taken while we
were in Huntsville. I will send you one.

The roses have been beautiful. Mother has a great many fine roses. The La
