I go to school and am in the First Standard. I like my teacher, Mr McWilliam very much, for he is very kind to us. The threshing mill is working at Mr Lindsay' to-day and we shall have it in a few days. I like to see the mill at work. I have a little kitten. It is grey and white. Will you pleae give me a name for it and also a name for my sister's, which is yellow and white. The old cat carried her kittens into a tin and they got all pink. I have no flower garden of my own, but I am going to make one this year. We have a lot of flowers. The winter will soon be round again and we shall get plenty of sliding. I have not been at school for a lone while, as we have got the whooping cough. Nine of us have it. Had you ever had the whooping cough? Do you know of any cure for it. There was a concert here on the 12th May, but none of us went to it. I hope we can have a picnic next Christmas, as it is too far for us to go to the Naseby sports. Naseby is 15 miles from here. - Yours truly, MARGARET JANE SHAW
... REPLY... Call the kittens Skip and Frisk. No, I do not know of any cure for whooping cough, though at one time lots of children with it were taken to the Dunedin gasworks to inhale the fumes. Whether it did them any good or not I do not know, however - DOT
