Dear Children
| Here is another plan for your
pleasure and Improvement.
| Our cousin L. H. Farrior wrote
suggesting poets corner. A place
where we might send our favorite
poems and where we might learn
from some one else the author or
lines of, some poem that fingered in
our memory.
| I talked it over with our editor
and he thought it a fine idea, but
said of course that it would be i'm
possible for US to publish original
poems. That would indeed require
too much space and time.
/ We will be able to have favorite
stanZa, a sonnet, or a poem pub
lished. The poems must be limited
to a reasonable length. That gives
you a good space. We will publish
all that we can, and you will have
to be patient for your turn, just as
you have to be for your letters.
| do think that our paper is Civ.
ing us every chance for pleasure and
improvement. Lovingly,
| AUNT JULIA.

that are not familiar with her life and

born at Domremy, on the borders of Lorraine,
