such a merry BUNCH. Many thangs to Aunt
Julia for her Kindness.
Well, what have you cousins been doing
these dear old fall days? I've been enjoy
ing myself in many ways. Reading is a
pastime l often enjoy when there is nothing
else to employ my mind. / will quote a
few lines of one Of my favorites:
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
''This is my own-my native land!"
Whose heart hath meier within him burned
AS home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go mark him we'll;
For him no minstrel raptures swell!
High though his titles, proud his name,
Roundless his wealth as wish can claim,
Despite those titles, power and pelf.
Tie wretch, concentered all in self.
Living: shall forfeit fair renown,
And doubly dying, shall so down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonOred and Unsung.
see Aunt Julia going after the broom
stick and must bid you adieu. Hoping l

Your new niece and cousin.
