Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here
come after very long a time; this good
cool fall weather makes us Floridians feel
better, after such long hot summer. Now
listen, Florida kids, wake up all the other
states are getting ahead of us; it is time
for us to wake up and let the cousins see
we do not stay dormant all the year
through--if good old Florida is known as
the state for lazy people Cousins, 1 wish
that 1 had travelled this summer, so
would have something interesting to write
about, but no so. This summer 1 visited
my friends and a cousin in the nearby
towns and had a delightful time, but, o,
you get lonely after gay time flying
around in town? 1 guess you cousins are
wondering how l look, SO here is my de-
scription: Five feet inches, dark gray
eyes, dark hair, weigh 1870; will leave
my age for you to guess, but l will tell
you l am still in my teens-and I don't
think will ever get too old to fish and
swim and enjoy good sport. Some of you
cousins that are lonely write me.

Dearest Aunt Julia: Just wonder how it

the cousins have started to school,. We
have and will graduate from high school
this season. If some of the cousins will
visit us we will go fishing and kodaking
down on the river. We live just about 800
yards from the Saluda river and go kodak
ing down there every day or two. If any

thought I'd drop in to talk a while. l will
give you poem by fellow l know. Here

A THOUGHT
By George Rogers
When the day seems sad and lonely;
When all the world seems drear,
Remember that lifes not sunshine only,
And meet the gloom with cheer.
Just think of all your bright days,
Their frolc and their fun,
And try to forget the night days,
AS they come up one by one,
And then you'll see a wonder;
The day will lose its gloom,
And through the clouds you're under
The glorious sun will come.
You think Of it. Your cousin,
LUTHER CLARK.

letters from the cousins, and appreciated
them very much, though l can't answer

Indians found the spring when they were
here in this country, and there they camped
