in, choosing a subject for discussion
in the contest of which you speak.

The first is: Music" and next
comes the Home in General" Eli
Their of these subjects would, I think,
form. foundation for considerable
discussion, and the many good let
tiers which I'm sure would be writ

ideas and opinions for many of US.
I'll not stay long, but if either of
the subjects is chosen L will en-

I am enjoying a nice blazing fire
made of large oak poles. I have just
finished reading one of the best
novels I ever read, entitled Jane
Eyre Do you cousins like to read?

things. Although I don't think any
of us should read trashy" love
stories. Good. books, poetry and
music are my favorites, for T ad-
mire beautiful poetry and revef in
the charms of sweet melodies and
delight in reading good literature.

year, for I think we should all

doing we can help raise America to
a higher plane. Aunt Julia, please
don't think l have stayed too long

I will appreciate letters and cards
from all you dear cousins and will
