Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1921-10-04

Dear Aunt Julia and All the Cousins:
After some months 1 am again attempting a
letter to The Journals Box. Maybe am
remembered by some of you ut least 1 re-
ceiyed a goodly number Of letters in re-
Spouse to my other letter, and l wish 10
make the quite common explanation at tne
very beginning there We're Just SO many
l couldn't keep my promise to all VINO an,
svered Then, too, at just that time and
for several months following was a very
busy time for US farmers, and l feared you,
who were so kind to send me such nice
letters, wouldn't care for an answer SO
long delayed. SO the time now is, and some
of them are unanswered. L hope you VIII
pardon me and allow this as an answer to
you enc and all 1 did really appreciate your
nice letters and cards; also those VINO later
horcred my poor letter by mention through
these columns. John Guy, / think your
will accompany your efforts. Bernice Beatty
l wish you had sent your address along,
too. Now. cousins, what are we planning
for winter? Though 1 guess most Of you
are in school, and l hope that 1T is possible
Tor you to be; still, to those who are with
me in remaining at home. Though l love
spring above all the seasons, still l wei
come joyfuIly the long winter nights, with
their chill, ice, and wind that makes
you shiVer and the shutters clap, and you
wish to creep just a little. closer to the
hearth with your book and wish to goodness
the piano was in living room. Are we
cousins planning any course in reading, or
even just a few good magazines and papers
like the dear old Journal, with some good
encyclopedia to refer to and an ever-ready
dictionary? But maybe we every one don't
care Tor reading. Do you remember what
DR.. Crane said in an article some two
months ago, entitled ''Idedals," in which he
said 1--WE can change our likes and dis
Iikes?" Then music is fine paStime for the
long winter evenings near approaching, in
fact, think it's the finest recreation yet.
Community music in the way of string
band or debating society at your school
house would be nice and beneficial. Any
way, let's not let our time become burden
some, and remember each day enlarges our
opportunity to do good to others. Last, I
wish to request that poem of 'Let Me Live
by the Side of the Road and Be Friend of
Man." or something like that, as l like the
sentiment. I must stop. / beg your pardon
for running a monopoly on your time and
space. Love to Aunt Julia and the cousins.
1 am sincerely yours,
Mays7iIle, Ca
