| Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Just please let me in for short
while for I just can't resist the
| temptation in asking for admittance
after reading the dear letter box
three times Il week. l have writ
| ten to the Letter box once before,
about three years ago. And, Aunt
Julia, l want to thank you many,
many times for printing it. l made
| lots of dear friends through that
one letter. l am the greatest girl
you ever heard of to correspond with
boys and girls in other states, so
| if any of you want to get better
acquainted with me, don't hesitate
| to write.
I am from the dear old state of
| South Carolina, a lovely state it is;
live in the country; will not give a
| description for I am sure there's no
use. Will just say IT got to vote
| this time" But remember, m not
an old maid.
Don't all of, you think every lady
| should vote? I do. | was the first
lady that voted at our precinct this
! time.
I want to tell all of you that I
enjoy every letter in the letter box so
much. I'll not try to value your
| letters but think when you read this,
that means me"
If any of you cousins have the
book, est. Elmo" will you kindly
lend it to me? Will take the best of
care and will return. Will also re-
turn favor in any way possible.
Aunt Julia, I will appreciate it so
much if you will print this in order
that I may get the book.
Don't you all forget to write.
Oceans of love to dear auntie and
cousins.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins
[ have not seen a letter from this
section of Florida for a long time,
so [ will write and tell you the
water is fine at the bathing beaches
now.
We have many places of interest
| near us. Tampa, sixteen miles from
here, is the largest cigar manufac-
| turing town in the world. Tarpon
! Springs, fourteen miles away, is the
| largest sponge town in the world
| Our nearest neighbor in Florida is
| old Mother Nature. She had ar
ranged for us years ago, springs,
| rivers, creeks, bays, and the Gulf Of
| Mexico, with numerous bathing
| beaches. Our forests of oak and
pine. all covered with draperies of
| beautiful Spanish moss; our orange
trees bloom in spring and fill the
air with the sweet odOr of orange
blossoms. Everywhere seems a
| haven. Oranges are ripe now.
| Everyone is relieving the trees OF
their burden, so they can smile
when spring comes with their tender
young growth full of white blossoms.
Have any of you ever seen a tree
smile? If not you should live with
Mother Nature a while, and learn
the real pleasures in store for you.
Guess [ had better stop or Aunt

Dear Aunt Julia and Counsins:
[ wonder if you will admit a little
Florida girl into your group of hap
py boys and girls. l will not stay
long, but am going to write in a
hurry. l am a blonde with violet
eyes and am just Is years of age,
but will be 16 the 2Sth of this month.
Who has my birthday? [ am like
Miss Vera Reynolds about Roscoe
Given's paint and powder, for l
think some girls need a touch of
rouge once in awhile. Of course,
there isn't any use in putting too
much on, and it Is more pleasant to
look at girl with paint and powder
on than smell a boys whisky breath
and also cigarettes. Mr.. Given may
not smoke, but the majority of the
boys and young men do. | have
been reading the cousins corner for
quite a while and certainly enjoy all
of the cousins letters. | would like
to hear from any of the cousins or
aunt Julia personally. AS this is
my first visit [ guess l had better
go, AL revoir, a new cousin.
