God knows how much it
  would be to me. Yes, with my good boys I can do it, and do it well."

  We put in her hands a check for this sum, and directed from the boat
  clean boxes of clothing and bedding, to help restore the household,
  when the house shall have been completed.

  Before we left her, we asked if she would name her house when it
  would be done. She thought a second and caught the idea.

  "Yes," she replied quickly, with a really winsome smile on that worn
  and weary face, "yes, I shall name it 'The Little Six.'"

  And so, dear Mr. Camp, will you kindly tell those brave little
  philanthropic dramatists, that they are to have a house down on the
  banks of the great rolling river, and that one day, I think, will
  come a letter to tell them that another six children are nightly
  praying God to bless them for the home that will shelter them from
  the floods and the storms.

                                  Sincerely and cordially yours,

                                                       CLARA BARTON.

  DEAR SIR: The "Little Six" met yesterday and wrote the accompanying
  letter, which they would like to have you forward to Miss Clara
  Barton. They wish me to thank you for sending them copies of your
  paper containing Miss Barton's beautiful letter to them. If you or
  Miss Barton ever had any doubts in regard to a child's appreciation
  of favors shown, I wish you could have seen those bright, happy
  faces as they gave three cheers for "ye editor" and three times
  three for Miss Clara Barton and the "Home of the Little Six" on the
  banks of the Ohio.

   when the family shall have been completed. 

   Before we leave her, we asked if she would name her sign of the zodiac when it 
   would be suffice. She thought a second and caught the idea.

   and weary face, " yes, I shall list it' The Little Six.' "

   come a letter to tell them that another six children are nightly 
   praying God to consecrate them for the dwelling that will shelter them from 
   the floods and the storms.
