Editor of The Grange Advance:
Dear Sir,—It has been a long time since I wrote to you last, I have been so busily employed. I am glad harvest is over, for it was very warm this year, but I am very thankful I have done so well, for I have had good reward for my labor.
I had a birthday party on the 14th of August, and had a very good time. I have not been so very well for a few days back.
I attend Sunday School regular; we have a very good one; we have some very good singers which makes it more interesting than it would be otherwise. I play croquet every Saturday afternoon; it is a very amusing game, and I like it better than base ball, for there is not so much danger of getting hurt.
I hope our school will begin before long, for I am anxious to go. I want to be a good scholar. Some one thinks I could study at home. I can, but there is little time for any one who works on the farm. Hoping your paper will always contain as good stories as it does now
I am your young friend,
Andrew Koch
