league, Texas, Feb. IL, 1921.
Editor Keowee Courier:
I enclose letter written by my
brother, j. N. Dolye, to my cousin,
Martha Alexander Steele, for many
years resident Of Deer Lodge, Mont.
My sister, Mrs. II. f. Alexanden now
visiting me, has kept the time-faded
letter through all these fifty-eight
years, and recently sent it to Mrs.
Steele that she might send 1t to you
for publication, with letter Of ex-
planation-thinking the letter might
be perused with interest by some Of
your readers, as doubtless there are
some who, on reading it, can look
back through the rift in memory's
crowded folds, and cherish anew
bright "reminiscences Of "The Sweet
Long Ago." which Time cannot dim,
and which Death alone can obliter-
ate.
Mrs. steele pleads "too busy" and
returns the letter to me for the pur-
pose mentioned, and I gladly under
take to discharge the duty imposed.
The Newton" mentioned is New
ton Alexander. "uncle Oliver" is the
late Dr.. o. NJ. Doyle. Rose is our
sister, who died in August, 1862, and
TON" is our brother, who belonged
to Wheeler's Cavalry and was killed
in Tennessee in October, 1863.
Newton, Martha and Sue Alexan-,
der's parents, Ansel and Caroline
Dendy Alexander, died when the chill
dren were small and at the request
of their mother, Martha and Sue were
taken by my parents, James A. and
Martha Dendy Doyle, who raised and
educated them as members Of the
family. Newton was raised by Elijah
Alexander, OF Pendleton.
At the time this letter was written
J. n. Doyle was with Orr's Regiment
on Sullivan's Island, and was taking
medical lectures in Charleston, and
some time after his graduation he
was made assistant surgeon of the
Second South Carolina Rifles, and
later In the war he was made surgeon
Of the Tenth Alabama.
Very truly yours.

AN ODE TO THE GIRL.

Little girl, you are so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no petit" skirt?
Don't you wear no "petti" shirt?
Just your corset and your hose
Are those all your underclothes?
Little girl, you look so slight
When see you in the light.
with your skirts cut rather high,
Won't you catch cold and die?
Aren't you afraid to show your calf?
1t must make the fellows laugh!
Little girl, what is the cause
Why your clothes all made Of gauZe /?
Don't you wear no underyest
When you go out fully dressed?
Do you like those peek-a-boos
Stead of normal underclothes?
Little girl, your 'spenders show
When the sunshine plays just so.
I can see your tinted flesh
Through your thinnest gown OF mesh.
Is 1t modest, do you s'spose,
Not to wear no underclothes?
can see way past your throat
To a region most remote;
'Taint my fault, now don't suppose
Why not wear some underclothes?
Little girl, your socks have shoals
OF those tiny little holes; =
Why you want to show your limb
| I do not knows it whim?
Do you want to catch the eye
| or the fellow passing by?
Little girl, where Is the charm
In your long, uncovered arm?
And the "V" behind your neck
Is 1t for the birds to peck?
Little girl, tell you those
Are not as nice as underclothes.
Little girl, now listen here:
You would be just twice as dear
II you'd cover up your charms
Neck, back, legs and both your arms
would take you to some shows
If you'd wear some underclothes,
But no lover--goodness knows
Wants a girl "sans" underclothes.
Little girl, your mystery,
Loving charms and modesty
Are what makes us fellows keen
To possess q little queen
S'spose | wore some harem pants,
Or a shirt like all my aunts,
Or a ringlet through my nose
They'd arrest me, don't you suppose
J must wear coat Of mail,
Clothes from head to big-toe nail;
i must cover up my form
