Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder
if you will experience a surprise upon read
ing a letter from the Volunteer state. I
have written several letters to all kinds
of papers. They were published and made
me quite q number of pen friends. How
ever, time has parted us and it's seldom I
receive letter from any.
1 am twenty (20) years Of age, live in
the country and am fond hover of nature.
1 have a library, and am. filling it with
good books. 1 like to read good books be-
cause they are the solid support of think
ing life and there is no substitute for
them. I attended the West Tennessee Sor-
NAL school last summer. Taught the past
winter and enjoyed my work very much.
Suppose 1 will teach this summer p. =,
1t is seldom boys and girls in this age
for reaching and indeed the things that
are lasting. Those tendencies which are
building character today and moving the
world with such dynamic force are largely
which lies hidden in every life is in this
fast day being so extensively cultivated.
The whole world is mad in its race for
pleasure and when mortal being takes
of existence it has lost the real essential
of true living. The life Of mankind. the
existence of a soul and Its travels into
eternity have ever been my study.
Kindness is the golden chain by which
society is bound together" and there are
miles and miles of this golden chain for
all of you. Amid your fond remembrances
please remember me.
All glad wishes,
ALMA REVELLE.
