! Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: This is a
lovely spring morning here in Iowa. and
| the spring birds are singing their sweetest
! and most melodious songs, and The grass is
| commencing to turn green, so everybody IS
| hoping that spring is here at last, for we
| have been having 50 much winter we are all
wanting spring now. During the month OF
March we just had one snow storm after
| another, and the last of the month we had
one of the worst billiards. that we have
| had for years, with the snow piled up in
great drifts from five to ten feet deep.
and the thermometer registered II degrees
| below zero. l expect that would seem
rather chilly to you southen Cousins, would
| it not?
The other day came across a piece of
| poetry that appealed to me very much, and
| I going In if q
MYSELF
I have to live with myself, and so
| ] want to be fit for myself to know.
] want to be able as days go by
| Always TO look myself straight in the eye;
/ don't want to stand with the setting sun,
| And hate myself for the things I've done.
| I want to go out with my head erect;
| want 10 deserve all mems respect.
But here in the struggle for fame and wealth
| ! want to be able to like myself:
| l don't want to look at myself and know
! That I'm buster and bluff and empty show.
1 never can hide myself from me.
| l see what others may never see;
l know what others may never know;
| ] never can fool myself and
| Whatever happens / want to be
self-respecting and conscience free. \.
