got back to Massachusetts after pleasant
trip to your wonderful Land of Cotton, y
and want to tell the cousins how much
enjoyed the trip. My aunt took your paper
and we all looked for Aunt Julla'S Letter
Box the very first of all.
1 visited the cotton mills and molasses
mills and learned many new and interest
ing things. wonder if any OF you cousins
know what a fine country you live in.
At first 1 could not get used to the red
roads but the beautiful honeysuckle took
my attention off the muddy roads: In my
opinion they are the sweetest and dearest
house with hedges of h0neysuckle and gar
dens of roses with a background of tall,
kingly pines and it was prettier than the
Ioveliest house in the north. The weather L4
weather was very hot in the summer. but
you should be willing to bear that to make
up for the nice, mild winters. l was dis
appointed that it wasn't. the watermelon
season, but l shall have to wait and per-
haps some of the cousins will send be one
this summer. Just think of having fruit and
garden vegetables in May!
What tiresome letter! Please excuse it,
for do want so much to tell you how much
1 enjoyed your lovely country. Perhaps some
of the cousins will write to me. You could
tell me so many interesting things. Aunt
Julia please excuse this writing. I'm writ
ing on the train. Your northern cousin,
