AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Guess
you all will be surprised to hear from an old
cousin, and I've neglected writing until Pm
almost ashamed to write, but it's better
late than never, isn't it? No doubt there
are many new cousins who do not remember
me, but l hope I'm not entirely forgotten
haven't forgotten any of you all, ven if
was seemingly neglectful about writing
I've been very busy going to school and doing
a little OF everything but that's making
excuses, isn't it. and l hate excuses, you
know. Hambone says an excuse Is lust a
lie all dressed up. True, isn't it? Wonder
what you all have been doing in my absence
Most of you are happy, 1 suppose vet some
are blue and sad. To the ones who are lone
some, cultivate a cheerful outlook. that s
easier said than done, isn't 1t, yet one might
try, yon know Longfelow says in his
beautiful poem, "A Psalm Of Life"
Let us then be up and doing with a heart
for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor
and to wait"
1 think that is the most wonderful verse
think everyone is impressed by good poe
try. I've stayed long enough, haven't l.?
Really, haven't written in so long, Pm not
so sure of a hearty welcome, auntie is frown-
ing terribly at me. l know I've written
heaps, auntie, but do excuse me once and
I'll promise to write again very soon Guess
you all have forgotten my description of
myself, but that isn't important and can
wait. Write me everyone. Your loving
cousin, (Miss) EVELYN DEMPSEY.
