My dear Winifred,Would you like a letter from the "Peter Rabbit Lady"? I want to tell you all about my 2 bunnies, I have got them with me here.
They are called Josey and Mopsy; Josey is a dear rabbit, she is so tame; although she is only a common wild one, who lived in a rabbit hole under a hedge. A boy caught her when she was quite a baby, she could sit in my hand. She is 3 years old now.
The other rabbit Mopsy is quite young, but is frightened and silly; I am not quite sure whether I shall keep it; perhaps I shall take it into the wood and let it run away down a rabbit hole....
With a great many kisses, from your loving friend, Beatrix Potter
