terested I'm that line. and / herewith take
this opportunity of Congratulating the
cousins on their wonderful improvement In
this art.
| think letter writing both pleasant and
profitable ii use the advantages offered
us i'm this way; to gather all the useful
information We can, and whenever 1 see
correspondents solicited at the end OF a
| real good letter | seldom deny myself the
| pleasure of seeking such a one for a cor
respondent. some of the cousins can
! testify to.
Now some think IT almost crime for
boys and girls to correspond, but II they
will exchange the few good ideas that
| they have and not carry on n lot of non
/ sense why may they not be benefited ana
| gain as much useful information in this
! way as possible instead of deriving only
| the evil influence by such intercourse?
| I think / will make proposition to any
| of the cousins Who Will send me copy
| Of their county paper soliciting the same
| of me. | will write letter giving cor
rect description of my town and surround
| ing country for their paper if they will
| do the same for mine.
| Now / think these letters might be very
| interesting to any who would like TO learn
| something about their country. and we
| might possibly get ideas about towns that
| would otherwise escape our notice. l in
