Dear Aunt, Julia and Cousins: I wrote
to the letter box once before and my let
ter was printed, so 1 have courage to try
again. 1 think the letters very inter
esting. Some OF you northern cousins could
entertain delightfully."- with stories of the
northern country, for not many of the south
ern cousins have ever visited in the north

teen years of age to go to school. 1t is

Hollow, Aunt Julia and Cousins! 1t has
not been so long since l wrote you, but
thought I would write again.
Cousins, 1 wonder what you all are do
ing these awful hot days. The reason I
am writing the 18th of this month is be-
cause that is my birthday, and would like
very much to have a letter shower. Won't
all you cousins be kind enough to send me
a letter? And if any of you want to have
one on your birthday l will do the same.
Aunt Julia, 1 have sent 10 cents in two
of my letters for the French baby but did
not see my name on the list. Would love
to know if they were lost or you just for
got to print it. 1 am breaking the rule
by writing so long a letter and will close
now, as 1 don't want Mr.. W. B. to get it,
Now, cousins, am going to expect let
tiers from all of you on the 18th. Don't
disappoint me. Am sending another dime
for the baby.
