Note 57 — IV. PRODUCTS OF CHILD-THOUGHT.
Reading edition
To judge from a story for the truth of which I will not vouch children will turn the devil to the same useful account. A little girl was observed to write a letter and to bury it in the ground. The contents ran something like this: "Dear Devil, please come and take aunt—soon, I cannot stand her much longer". The burying is significant of the devil’s dwelling-place.
