I certainly do enjoy reading your letter
box. I think it is the most interesting
thing found in The Journal: I am now in
NA"S

In fact, there is nothing I enjoy more than
my school work. AS to my personal APP
pearance I am about feet inches tall
and weigh 139 pounds, have dark hair. blue
eyes and fair complexion. My age is be-
tween thirteen and sixteen.
Roy Landrum, 1 will answer your ques-
ton. The letter NJ occurs twice in a
moment and not once in thousand years.
If any of you girls and especially good
looking boys want to write to me your let
tiers will be highly appreciated and also
answered. -
