Dear Aunt and Cousins: Here is little
Florida girl coming to visit you, who hopes
she will be permitted to visit all the jolly
cousins who write SO nicely in the Tri-
Weekly Journal 1 notice in the Tuesday
edition little cousin, Lena Davis, from
she remember what Bobbie Burns said?:
"Oh. wad some power the giftie gle us,
TO see ourselves as itbers see us.
1t wad frae mOny blunder free us,
And foolish notion
That ia quite true. don't you think so:
l. too live in the country in an orange
grove and between two lakes. but the or
anges are all gone now for this season, for
my daddy has shipped them, but l hope we
will have a lot more this winter, as there
are lots Of little ones, and ] have seen
some Of the trees. There are also some
grapefruit trees, and one large ever-bearing
lemon, that is now full of blooms; little
lemons, and ripe ones. We have lot of
guava trees or bushes. but they are too lar>s
to be called bushes, and they full Of
little guavas and bloom, but because sugar
is so dear. l am afraid we will not be able
to put M much jelly. But the sugar price
may come down before they are ready. Our
school closed in February and We certainly
enjoyed going. We II have brother and
sister both youngerl have about mile to
walk to school, and our teacher had nearly
as far to come; she boarded with a neigh
Dor. My age is between twelve and TWEEN
ty. Who can guess it? And my birthday
the present, and some of you write TO me,
as l like to write letters. With love.

Hello, Everybody: | am glad to be with
you all again. Thanks to Aunt Julia for
printing my letter in 1921, for sure did re-
ceive lots of lsk5ers. and have osme very
dear pen friends. Now l wish it was posi-
bic for me to visit one and all that l re-
ceived letters from. Yes, do. for it seems
as though | already knew them. | received
over fifty letters in one month from the
cousins. Yes. am on the farm yet. |
did try the city last year. but am back on
the farm now and think | will stay, for in
the country you can have the good pure air,
fresh vegetables and lots Of other things,
and, above all, freedom, and You surely cant
have that in town. or course. we farmers
are having pretty hard time noT. One
thing, it rains too much; we can't get 10
DC very much blowing. aud when we do 60
something planted and 1t comes up there
farmers. had better fight potato bugs
and ground lice off of beans and other vege-
tables than to fight boil weevils. for we
can eat the vegetables we raise, but we
cant eat cotton. l planted fifteen bushels
or Irish potatoes this year. and they surely
are fine. May age is between twenty and
thirty. II any Of you care to know more
