MY DEAR TOM:
Thank you for your nice letter. In answer to your questions: We do think
that Cuba will be free, and that she will gain her freedom before very
long. We do not think that this country will help Cuba. It hardly seems
necessary now that we should help; the Spaniards are losing ground every
day, and it will probably be best for the United States to wait until the
brave little island has fought her last battle, and then let Uncle Sam
come forward and help Cuba to re-establish her commerce.
THE EDITOR.
DEAR EDITOR:
I enjoy THE GREAT ROUND WORLD very much indeed, and
wish the dreadful war with Cuba would stop; but I do not want
the Cubans to give up; it is just like the Revolutionary War
with us; we did not give up, and I hope Cuba won't.
I have a little black and tan dog, and call him Jack. He is very
cunning indeed, he has a hard rubber ball he plays with. There
also is another black and tan dog in the house whose name is
Gipsy; she, also, is very cunning.
I remain your affectionate reader,
HELEN A.
