Of nice things mountains, waterfalls,
Indians. and so on; and do you know,
Jim, that [ am thinking of accepting
your invitation? / have great desire
to see real live Indian. and I would
rather go down in one of the mines YOU
told me about than do anything else in
the world. I am tired of going to the
places where everybody goes-where it
Is Just dress, and dress. and dress; be-
sides, ! have hardly anything to wear.
and papa always grumbles when | ask
him for money. Why, he isgetting to be
afegular bear; only gave me $500 last
winter when had to have new dress
for the charity ball! Now, Jim, if YOU
and Mary are willing to be bothered with
the company of your suffering cousin,
she will spend the summer with you.
fapa says may; he thinks it will give
me some sense, SO he says. Charlie is
gong to Chicago in June, and viii see
me safely started from there. iso
Now, please say | may come, for /
am Just dying to see you. Your affec-
Tomato cousin, FAN.
