Dear Boys and Girls.—
In the short time I have been among you, I have made friends of some of the best little boys and girls throughout the land.
I have been writing to my brothers and sisters at home telling them all about you, and they are very anxious to become acquainted also; so I sent for our family photograph album, which contains most of their pictures.
Now Old Mother Goose is a neighbor of ours, and she earns her living by writing little rhymes, tales and jingles, and as she is a very good friend of our family, she has written many verses and rhymes about us, which I know you will enjoy reading.
So you see I take great pride in presenting you this copy of our Family Photograph Album.
