Dear Folks: Have just finished reading
the nice letters in the council so decided I'd
drop in for chat. This is my first at
tempt and do hope, auntie, that you can
find room for it, for l want to get ac-
quanted with the bunch and would be
so glad if some of you cousins would write
to me. as l get awfully lonesome some
| times. I can't express how much pleasure
have derived from reading the letters
IN the Letter Box, especially those like Ell
mer Bridges and many others, but l musn' t
take room to name them all. My parents
are both dead mother died two years ago.
and since her death l have not had very
easy time. as I am the oldest girl at home
and had to take her place. 1 live a
farm but am not as fond of farming as
some Of you cousirk. The country is not
altogether what some city people believe
it to be. 1t has its bad points as we'll as
its good. OF course, it's very nice to get
outdoors and listen to the birds sing, pick
wild flowers or go fishingS but when you
come to think about it, spring and summer
is mighty busy time and the majority Of
in the sunshine and picking wild flowers.

cleaning house and all these kinds Of things,
