Hello, Auntie and Cousins. Please per-
nit another Georgia lassie to enter into
your charming circle. 1 read The Journal
and enjoy the Letter Box very much. l
think, il was so nice of Aunt Julia to or
ganize a Soldiers Relief club; 1 have an
uncle and several cousins in the service
Of Uncle Sam. One Of my cousins was
wounded I'm France recently. l sure was
glad to hear that the war had ended, for
the boys will get to come home home now.
What has become of Jeanne CarrOway? She
used To write such interesting letters! Sa-
rah Potter, l would like to correspond with
you. How many of the cousins enjoy read
ing? 1t is my favorite pastime. My ia
vOrite authors are Rex Beach, Jean Web
ster and Gene Stratton-POrter. Well, as
this is my first attempt, and my letter
is drawing cut to be rather lengthy,
think 1 had better describe myself, and
bid you all Eau revoir:" have brown
Cousins. l would be pleased TO hear from
every one Of you, so get your pen and
write a letter TO INEZ ENTERKIN,
Winston, Ga.
Aunt Julia:-wm you permit another
boy 10 talk awhile? / have never writ
ten TO the Box, but your plan of adopt
ing a French child is a good one, and
than one. l think Americans can do
nothing else that will win FOR them the
admiration OF God and the world more
completely than this. Let us take them
Of the brave" and show humanity that we
still have the spirit of cur forefathers,
mot for ourselves but for others" Let
us remember that these little boys and
girls will some day be men and women and
to US the debt will be paid il a debt you
can call IL. Sincerely,
CARY AVERETT.
Dear Aunt Julia How are you and the
cousins getting alongg Thought l would

1 would visit Aunt Julia's dear page. 1

l had a dear brOther-in-law to die at Camp
Green, Charlotte, y. &. / didn't have any
brothers to go to the army. 1 have an
uncle in France and several cousins in camp.
/ read so many letters in the last jour
nal. They were so good I'm ashamed to
write. Aunt Julia, 1 received my pin all
o. X, and am sending Zoe for s. r. c.

didn't print my last one. Love to Aunt
Julia and II. Your niece,

Dearest Aunt Julia Here I come again
asking for admittance. 1 wonder how Aunt
Julia and all the cousins are enjoying this
rainy weather. Just fine, l certainly hope.
Oh, doesn't it seem good to know that
we have peace once moreg And just think
what a happy time that will be when those
boys lover there" come home to their
loved ones. What do you cousins do for
pastime these days: l read, write, play
the photograph and crochet sometimes. How
many Of you cousins are coming to see me

we will have good time, believe me-"

Dear Aunt Julia:-I am a little country
girl from the dear old state Of South Caro-
lima. 1 live. on a large cotton farm and
love TO pick the fleecy staple. / also love
to feed the chickens and help my grand
mother, who also has the name Of Julia,
in the kitchen. 1 love so much for her to
read to me, especially the letters from
you and the cousins. l can knit and can
sew on my dolly's clothes, and how
love them, have one that Santa Claus gave
me four years ago; her name is Flossie.
Her eyes fell back In her head and took
her TO Baltimore and there had them re-
placed. She is again lovely; she was a
very pretty imported doll. Am so delight
ed that the war has ceased and that our
Christmas brings with it again this year
how happy and thankful everyone shall be
to know there is peace and love for all the
world on this day our Savior came. Aunt
Julia, your thought OF the dear little French
baby IL very touching. How good IL will
be TO do even this much in the name Of
Jesus, the Babe OF Bethlehem, and now II
it is not taking up too much room, 1 am
going TO add this little verse l love so
much:
The sweetest words we ever read
The ones the Savior said,
Let the little children come to me
1 their loving friend will be-"
With much love and q merry Christmas
to Aunt Julia and all the cousins,
Your little niece,
MIRIAM HUGGINs.
