Odebolt, IOwa.-Dear Uncle:-I have
seen SO many nice letters in your pa
per and thought / would also write
one. l am 10 years old and in the
sixth grade at school. l have seven
sisters and one brother, of whom l am
the second youngest. My father and
mother moved to town last November,
which makes it very easy for us to
go to school. We have a nice new
schoolhouse now, which was finished
last summer. We do not learn Ger
man in school, or l would write you a
German letter.
/, like many readers of your paper,
would want this war TO stop, rs l have
many relatives fighting and five or six
Of them are dead already.
We are having very cold and stormy
weather now and have no school. One
morning it was 80 below zero and now
it Is twenty, but by morning, it will
be 30 below again. We had an awful
hlizZard.-I think this letter is long
enough for the first time and will soon
write again. If it escapes the waste
basket.-With best regards To all the
nieces, nephews and you. dear uncle,
l remain,-Cunigunda eraser.
Do you sometimes hear from your
relatives, who are fighting in Europe?
If you have interesting letters from
them, / would be pleased to publish
them. Call again soon.-Der Onkel.
