Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:

Will you please admit a jolly little
! girl from Mississippi into your hap
! by band? I have been a reader of
your happy band for long time
and don't see many letters from the
dear old state of Mississippi. But I
hope 1 will be a lucky one to get
my letter printed, as this is my first
time.
I wonder what you cousins and
Aunt Julia are doing for amusement
| these beautiful summer days. For
myself, have been going to a singing
| school, also a great many protracted
| meetings.
How many of you cousins enjoy
fishing? I enjoy it very much. Wish
some of you could be over here
| Wednesday. A number of my friends
are coming to go fishing on the river
+, and creek. There are such beauti-
full places to fish. I'm sure any of
you would enjoy it.
Cousins, some of you visit me this
summer. have a sister just young
err than am. Both of us are full of
| life and we will show all of you a
| grand time.
Well, 1 must stop as my letter is
growing long. All you cousins that
would like to write to jolly little
girl of 10 summers, write yor letters
and cards to yours,
! Lovingly,
MAMIE TISDALE.
