Dearest Aunt Julia, Cousins and Friends:
Here comes little blue-eyed North Caro-
lima boy wishing to join your happy band
of boys and girls. / have longed to join
the Letter Box, but some way was afraid
TO try. Well, did write once, but my
letter was not printed. And l said 1 would
never write again. But I'm going to try
once more. What kind of Christmas did
you all have? I'm sorry to say it, but
did have a dull Christmas. But I'm enjoy
ing the New Year to the very best. Boys
and girls, let's just try to see what us
times feel lonely and blue, but I say to
myself, I'm going to be a happy boy, and
can when try. You, too, can. We don't
know what this old world has for us till we
get out to see. Well, / guess I'd better be
passing on, as it will soon be time for that
dreadful wastebasket. Cousins, make me a
visit. I'm quite sure l could give you all
nice time. l want to ask you all to
Box once, and got many nice letters and
photos. 1 guess some of you remember
her, Leathie Cooper. Well, Auntie, if this
is worth printing I'd be delighted to see
it, and If it isn't throw it out. Wishing
you a happy New Year, l am
HOWARD COOPER.
