Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins Say, jump
over and let me in. 1 am a Palmetto kid
Of about twenty summers. l am a new
cousin, but will not describe myself, as it
is useless waste of paper. 1 think it is
n good idea of Aunt Julias to adopt an
American child. because it will be a great
help to the child, by making it educated,
and therefore better citizen, a great help
toward a better and greater America.
Thanksgiving will soon be here, and we
.hOuld not forget, some time during the
day. to kneel down and return thanks to
God for the blessings He has given us.
Whcw! I'm almost preaching. Excuse me,
cousins; I'll not lecture any more. Instead,
III ask a riddle. Here it is: What is the
difference between man snd a hen? Now
l want to tell you cousins something in
strict confidence. You must be sure not to
tell anyone o. this, but l want you to every
one sit right down and write me long let
