Dear Children:
Do, you realize that it is about
the time when we start our Twilight
club?
For the newcomers let me tell
again why we started our Twilight
| club.
You see most of us live on farms
and we have many duties in the
spring and summer that will not per-
nit of our visiting except after our
work is done, so, we started our
club and now no matter how busy
our days are after the work is done
we visit together and tell of our
| days tasks well done.
lovingly.
AUNT JULIA.
| Dearest Aunt Julia and All: Some time
ago some one expressed a desire for of
the cousins to write about great men," SO
here's sketch of the life of Thomas Jeffer-
son: Thomas Jefferson born in Abe
marie county Virginia, April 10, 1743. He
was educated at William and Mary college
and began the practice of law. He was often
member of the Virginia legislature and
was member of the Continental congress.
He wrote the Declaration of independence
! and signed it. He was later governor of
| Virginia, minister to France, secretary of
state, vice president, and president for two
! terms. He directed the acts of congress dur
ing this presidency; and after his retirement
until his death his advice was constantly
| osught by political leaders. He refused
third term, as Washington had done. One of
| the greatest acts of his career per-
| formed after his retirement to private life,
namely, the founding of the University of
Virginia. He spent his last days at his
home, Monticello" near Charlottesville, Va.
