Dear Aunt Julia and All: 1 will write a
few lines to our grand circle this cloudy
has been real hot and dusty here for the
past few weeks, but we have had some
real nice rains, yesterday and today. Say,
cousins, I've an idea and L think it would
be real interesting, that is to write about
our towns or cities and tell how they were
named. I live about six miles from Mat
thews: two miles from Indian Trail and one
mile from the small village of Stouts, where
l go to school. Matthews was named aft
er man of that name, and Indian Trail
was named for a trail that went through
after man there. 1 am fifteen years of
age and would like to get mail from girls
and boys around that age. AS / am in
hopes this little missive will be printed,
will bring this to a close dmake room
for someone else. Cousins, let's try to
write interesting letters and not take up
much space with our descriptions. 1 just
love to read the interesting letters that
