Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins Will you
all please move over and give me seat by
some OF the South Carolina cousins? If so,
L Will promise not TO stay long. We have
been taking the dear old journal for a num-
her of years, and l do enjoy reading it so
much, especially the Letter Box department.
| have written TO the Letter Box once be-
fore, and | thank Aunt Julia ever much
for printing my letter. Well, cousins, l
will not describe myself this time, but only
say that am a lad of eighteen summers.
Well, cousins, what are you all doing this
rainy weather? Staying indoors, | guess
How many OF you cousins enjoy going to
school? | surely do | enjoy reading good
books and magazines very much also. They
will train your mind to think and act quick
ly. Most of you cousins out of school
now, l suppose. My school has been closed
a good while and will begin about the mid
die of July. 1 think all boys and girls
should try to go to school and get good
education, for they will see the need of it
in the years to come, when they become
men and women, when they will have TO
manage their own affairs. Well, as l am
afraid 1 have broken the rules already,
my place. All You cousins write me and
will assure you an answer, An ex-cous1n,
