My Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
From time to time for years L have
written to The Journal and have
welcome, and although a little older
in years, L am still as careful and
gay as the rest. Once when on
distant battlefields L wrote and
again on my return, and many of

/ would like to have a letter from
you all, a friendly letter from the
glory girls of Dixie, for I find them
: to be the wonder girls Of all the

of letters, as you have always done
| before, I will send you my picture
and views of our wonderful Or
clMrds.
U remain as ever your old friend,

| Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I
just finished reading the letter box
and decided 4 would write a let
! ter from the Old Dominion. 1 Won
der how many can tell at once

box for some time and have never
seen a letter from Virginia.
I live in the town where john
Fox, Jr., wrote. most of his books
The character. "June Tolliver," in
the book, '"The Trail of the Lone
some Pine" went to school here
! for one term.
My town is only short distance
| from three states namely, Kentucky,
West Virginia and Tennessee. The
population is about 1000. We have
an iron furnace, knitting mill, tan
merry ard extract plant. Our school
employs % teachers.
1t seems that the girls do most
of the writing in the letter box.
We boys had better get busy and
tween ~ and 80. ] would be glad
to correspond with all of the cous-
ms.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will
you please let me in again this cold,
raw day? Guess some of you cousins
wonder why I write so often, and
here it goes: I like to write and get
good letters, if I am married. [ am
not dead of old age. You may remem-
Der me last summer. L was then at
Terra Celia, but we have moved home
now. [ won some very dear letter
friends through the Letter Box and
take this chance to thank Aunt
Julia for printing my letter, though
L didn't see it as was away visit
ing when it came out.
There were some sailors and sol
diers asked if my husband was dead.
No, he only served six months in
Camp Jackson, S. c., and is now
in the mountains of South Carolina
for a health treatment, so you see
I am lonely.
Cousins, will some Of you please
send me the songs containing these
words: when the clouds go by I'll
come to you, and we will build us
nest way out in the vest
