Dear Helen:–
I don't have much time to write you a letter now, but will send a few words along with this one to Mamma. Either she or Psyche can read it to you.

I know that you would think that some things in South America are funny. In a good many places all the little boys and girls of your size go without any clothes or they only wear a shirt that does not come down to their knees. Most all of them are quite black too, and not very clean.

In some of the towns where we stopped I saw very nice flowers of all kinds, and they were made of different kinds of bird feathers. When I come home I will bring some along. Then there are so many other things that you would like to see about which I will tell you some other time.

Be sure and mind Mamma and see if
