let's make a real album. Aunt Julia,

such d nice box of oranges. I am

Oh, hello! How is my dearest
auntie and all the cousins? oh
fine, I'm sure. For myself, just
splendid. Only wondering if you
have room for an old cousin. I'll
promise not to detain you so very
long. Guess most of you remember
me, as my first letter to the cous-
ms letter box was printed in Tues
day, December 26, issue.
[ received so very, very many nice
letters from the cousins. Indeed
they were just fine. They were ap-
preciated to the fullest extent and
[ regret exceedingly that / cannot
meet each one personally. 1t would
be a great pleasure for me to do
so. The old English language fails
to have words to express my many,
many thanks to Aunt Julia for

friends. Only received letters from
IS different states. Auntie, some of
the cousins thoughts l was a girl
and believe me, [ got some inter
esting letters from boys, also some
letters from girls wanting to ex
change crochet and tatting. L am
real sorry I could not crochet or
tat. Listen, cousins, [ had rather a
bad case of influenza through the
holidays, so you see, your letters
were quite a bit of cheer for a
sick and lonely lad of IS years. I'll
not use any of your valuable space
in describing myself, but will save
a, mere bit of space to tell of our
county school. We live next door
to our community school house. Our
consolidated is the finest and best

Hello! Auntie and All: Ease over
a little you Georgia and Florida kid
dies and give me a seat by the fire
for [ assure you it's cold up here in
North Carolina tonight and I am
feeling quite stranger. It's been
such long time since / was with
YOU. Nearly three years. I am
sure no one remembers me, but the
present and future is what we live
for and, naturally, new friends are
to be desired with the renewal of
old friendships. Wise men say
friendship is one of the greatest
things in the world. Isn't it lust
grand of auntie to give US this op-
portunity of being friends to all who
will be friends.
l. Say, you cousins from "you for
&gn countries" should just be with
me on the farm in S. E. n. c..
(Blachen county,. You see, I am
just jolly chap; yet in my teens,
and happy with the joy of living,
for its grand just to be alive in a
place like this. True we have a
changeable climate, but that's the
fun of it. You see it's not a bit droll
where we have one day cold and
freezing and the next arm and
sunny There are some historic
places close by Elizabethtown and
Moors crek. Ha! ask granddad what
happened there. Also small lakes,
including the beautiful White lake.
Its waters are as clear and trans
parent as glass to almost any depth
and looks as white as milk. It. IS
much famed as q summer resort.
Oh, yes, cousins, come this way
some time in person, letters, or cards
and we Will be the hest Of friends.
Auntie please>let this by the waste
basket.
/ With love and best wishes to all.
An old cousin,
