My Dear Children
Can 1 have little space to tell
you of something so very pleasant
that happened to me? Thank you.
Yesterday morning, bright and
early, the expressman drove up to
the door and left me the very incest
box of oranges you ever saw. In
the box was a card with these words,
Dear Aunt Julia: Here is a box
of oranges from my own home,
picked and packed by Steve himself
i hope you are real we'll - will
enjoy this little token of friendship
from your loving nephew, S. E..
Civil"
Just imagine a dark, cold, gloomy
day frightened by such friendly
thought. How 1 wish that some OF
you dear children who, like myself,
live out of the orange section, could
be here to enjoy theses with me.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia: Noting your
disappointment in regard to the
photograph album and as 1 am the
one who suggested it, I've decided
to write a brief letter, enclosing my
photograph to be used as begin
ming factor in this case, and once
it is started I'm quite sure it will
run on successfully. Indeed I hope
so, anyway, as it will save the
trouble of each and every cousin de.
scribing themselves and j. >r supe
rior.
Now, come on, cousins, and let's
be loyal to the photograph album
for. in this way, we can secure the
photos of innumerable cousins and
each and nevery one who takes the
Journal will be able to form an
album of your own. Now I'm not
sending mine because I'm so good
looking" but just to start the ball
rolling. So let's go!
Sincerely,
L. H. FARRIOR,
r. F. D. No. /, Jacksonville, N. G..
