Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1922-11-09

TO read all the tree letters yet, but
promise you an announcement next
week without fail.
Not nearly enough Of you care
for trees; I should have had more
letters. When you read the prize
I hope they will inspire you
to "SEE" the trees around you; not
to just LOOK AT THEM"
Lovingly, AUNT JULIA
Hello, Aunt Julia! May four sisters from
the land of the long-leaf pine join your
happy band for a short chat? We have
been silent readers Of the Letter Box for
long while and have often spoken OF writ
ing, but are not good writer's like some
of the cousins, we read while others
write. How many of the cousins raise tur-
keys and chickens? We have fifty turkeys
and quite a number of chickens. Auntie, II
you will come to see us we will give you all
the turkey and chicken you can eat. We
will not describe ourselves; will just say
our ages are between ten and twenty-five.
Who has our birthdays, Beulah, December
II; Pauline, October 29 Sarah, October %;
Virginia, February 10? For pastime we
read, crochet and go swimming. We have
read quite number of books. We have no
real fayorites. Say, cousins, how woull you
bit Of sheet music. If you wish to exchange,
write first, as we would not want more
than one copy Of each. Come on, North
Carolina girls and boys; don't let the other
states get SO far ahead. Love and best
wishes for Aunt Julia and all the cousins.

Dear Friends: am coming IN for few
moments chat. How are all Of you by now?
1t seems like can't keep away from the old
box. Anyway, "absence cannot hearts
diyide,' Isn't that true? Ny! what time
everyone is having with their crops now!
The boil weevil ate nearly all the cotton up.
Aunt Julia, what do you think about farm
ing? I love it in some ways, and some
don't. I think that no one should try to
farm unless they have something to fall
back on if their crop fails them. So what
chance has poor person got trying to farm
without anything to help him over the bad
spots that are always in farming? I sim
cerely believe that everyone should qualify
themselves to do something that would be
worth while while they are young. Then
they can have a good time in their young
days, when they could enjoy it most. I will
always be sorry that 1 never went any
farther than the ninth grade at school. l
am not sorry that married, but l could be
doing something to help. My husband and
l
could study something three years and then
be only twenty-siX, Cousins, the next time
you hear from your old cousin she may be
in training. l have first cousin, trained
nurse, and believe would love that We
have been married four years and have no
children, so I get rather lonesome. What
do you say, Aunt Julia, to me being some
body, making $40 a day? Maybe l could
help out our mite box a little more.
think it q shame we have no more than we
how fnI ANYTHING Aunt Jnlia.
you should make everyone who writes let
ter pa y5c, then you would have more than
you could do anything with. t looks like
Mr.. W. B. would get Indigestion from SO
gives him asafoetida, anyhow, don't you all?
certainly must close or she will have TO
give him something worse than asafoetida'
I wish some of you cousins would write to
and pet hen. Both are awful but it was the
only one I had that looked like me. You
ust excuse my everyday finery, but that's
the style here. By-by. Sincerely,
P. ST. would be glad to get the picture
back if you don't want it, Aunt Julia
