Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Daddy

years and 1 am getting interested in the
Cousins letters. l hare gotten to where

school will be out the 9th Of April. and
surely will be sad, for like to otto school.
We have six months school. and haven't
missed but two days this term. 1 am eleven
years old, and study the FIFTH grade.
We have a grand teacher. His name is
Mr.. Pickens. from Lilburn, Ga. He is so
kind; every one of his pupils love him, ana
we will be sorry to see him leave.
/, like most of you Cousins, live on the
farm, and like to live in the country. l
am the only child and get lonesome some
times. / Just have one pet and that is
the dearest little kittle named Roma" l
help mama viii the house work and clean
the kitchen every morning before l go to
school. 1 don't like TO cook. but mama
corn bread and that - about all l can
cook, and l sometimes help her mix her
cakes.
How many Of you Cousins love flowers ,
chrysabttemum. like to go to the river
and take lessons in swimming. I want t
learn how to swim well this summer.
Come on. Cousins. with letter or card

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit a lonely boy from dear old South
Carolina into your most wonderful and in
terestng circle of boys and girls. as I
hardly ever see any letters to the box
written from South Carolina?
L read the letter box in every Issue OF
The Journal and think it's so nice to know
what all the cousins are doing.
l think this cold snap perfectly awful on
ell the fruit. but we have to take what
God gives for our portion, people are not
thankful enough to receive His many bless
ings.
| live in the country as most all the
other cousins do and like country life fine.
Will not describe myself as this is my
favor of all the cousins to write me,
and ] will assure them all an answer.
With love to Aunt Julia and cousins,
Your new cousin
