I liked the piece about Miss Alcott in the December number very
much. We expect to take your magazine until we are young women. I
think it the best published for young people.--Your friend,

By letters just received from England, we learn that the pretty
Christmas and New-Year cards in our December and January issues were
_not_ drawn by Miss Greenaway, though a friend had mistakenly sent them
to us last summer as specimens of that lady's work, cut from a
scrapbook. We, therefore, hasten to correct the error, wishing at the
same time, that we knew to whose hand to credit the drawings. To our
still greater regret, we now learn that Marcus Ward & Co., of London,
having published these as Christmas cards, and counted upon having a
large sale for them in America. Had we known this in time, we certainly
should not have copied the pictures without previously referring to the
publishers. The best reparation we can make at the present date is this
acknowledgement and a bit of honest advice to our readers: Hunt the
shops for the beautifully colored cards from which these pictures were
copied, and buy them for next Christmas.
