again. I've been a silent reader for quite
while and was rejected in my first at
tempt, through no fault of anyone but me,
though, for l wrote my letter and then read
the rules, and. though being aware of the
! fact that l had broken some of them, 1 sent
my letter anyway. So l am trying to write
this to run in harmony with the rules in
stead of hoping the rules will vary to fit my
will. Miss Pauline Jetton, did you get the
song l sent you? / am an ex-sailor and
have many dreams of the thrilling adven-
lures of my blue jacket career, which are
too numerous to mention in so limited a
space If this is printed l will endeavor to
relate some of my experiences of the life
of a COB in my next letter. Fearing I
have already broken the rules again, I will
go. Love to all,
Richlands, n. c.. Route 2.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
permit jolly little Georgia girl into your
happy band of boys and girls? 1. like most
of the cousins, live on farm, and like farm
life just fine. I guess most of the cousins
remember NE, as I've written to the Letter
Box twice before and my letters escaped
the waste basket. l surely hope Aunt Julia
will print this one, as I've gained lots OF
friends through the Letter Box. 1 won
describe myself this time. I will only say
l am fourteen years old. Who has my birth
day, June 8? I hope some of you cousins
will give a card shower. I've lived in
Alabama all my life until we moved down
here a month ago. 1 like this place just
fine. What do you cousins do for pastime?
l crochet, help mama and go to school. My
dcskmate is Algie Goodwin. I will have to
close or break Aunt Julia's rules. l would
like TO correspond with some of the cousins.
I will try to answer all letters and cards
received, so let your cards and letters fly.
Wishing you all a happy Easter lovingly.
