CAT STORIES - BY HELEN JACKSON - 1886 - INTRODUCTION - DO not feel wholly wrote these letters the letters written to me by my marnrna, or other friends, and I never caught Pussy writing at any time when I was at home but the printing was pretty bad, and they were signed by PUS name and my rnarnma a w s looked very mysterious when I asked about them, as if there were sotne very great secret about it all so that until I grew to be a big girl, I never doubted but that Pussy printed them all alone by herself, after dark.

I carried both letters in my apron pocket all the time. They were the first letters I ever had received, and I was very proud of them.
