Dearest. Auntie and Cousins
Wonder how you all enjoyed the Fourth
Of July. l believe I'll write you all about
the Fourth of July.
There was a committee Of five appointed
to draw up the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson wrote 1t and John Adams,
Robert r. Livingston made suggestions. 1t
was adopted July 4, 1915. The bell-ringer
was ready to ring out the news. A boy was
in the hall below. ready to announce the
note. He cried out, Ring, ring" The
glad news of liberty rang out over Phila-
delphia and the crowds below. However news
trayeled so Slowly in those days that 1t
was Aug. 10 before the word reached Geor-
gia. The bell which rang out the news of
the adoption Of the Declaration Of indie
nendence has since been known as Liberty
Bell" 1t is among the most sacred Of
American relics and is noy carefully pre-
served at Independence Hall, Philadelphia.
If any Of you cousins have the poem. 1.-THE
Legions of Vermont" and will send 1t to
me I'll return favor with any song or poem
have. I'd enjoy hearing from some of you
cousins. With love.
