DedresG aunt Jula ana COuSlns' May Is
please, be admitted again into your happy
band? l guess you all have forgotten me
by now. as it will soon be year since
wrote TO the Letter Box, and l want to
thank Aunt Julia for seeing fit to have 1t
printed. She is such a dear aunt, anyway.
/ know all the cousins will agree with me
on this. Well. If there isn't Mr.. John e.
he remains silent so long I expected TO
find him out in the woods with the birds,
flowers and trees. / heard some one say,
Ives, hse is just a little old country girl.
Well they are just right. and nothing but
country life suits me. The closer L can
get to Dame Nature the better am pleased,
for ] am native of Gods own country.
wouldn't give one night in the country with
the breeze signing through the tree tops
and thousands Of liBtle insects singing
dreamy lullibys. for dozen of your city
nights, with noisy cars and glazing lights.
am not a knpcker and / believe in every
one living where they can best enjoy them
selves for life is short, and what joy we
miss in our day can never be found In rhe
next. OF course l like TO visit the city,
as well as any one could, but there Is so
much wickedness where there are so many
different people.
Dear Cousins, this being the fourth OF
April, not quite another month before 1t

Of fun to hang these. II anyone has
