i have been to see my little cousin alice. she is just three years old, and i love her dearly. she has many things to play with. she has a ball, a rattle, and a horse; and she had a nice wax doll given her last christmas, but as she got the paint off its face by kissing, it is laid by till she is bigger. we played she was my baby, and i dressed her up and took her to walk; after that we played have tea, and then i rocked her to sleep, and she looked so nice i could not help kissing her. she is coming to see me next week.
