made several attempts to write, but every
time I started to write I could not think
mail it when I got through. 1 am going
to mail this, and hope Aunt Julia will think
it worth printing. Cousins, how are your
flower gardens? Mine is about dead. 1t

to try to have some flowers for fall. Gee,

that for the next time, and not take up too
much space this time. If any Of you cousins
