circle of boys and girls; l suppose about six
years, and since that time l have been in
the states of tbesides my home state, Geor-

lucky and Ohio. Also, since that time the
death angel knocked at our door March
20, 1923, and took my dear father to rest
in peace, whom we miss and need so much.
We lived since the fall Of 1921 in Moul-
tre, Ca, until last summer, when we moved
back here on the farm. | like town much
better. l stayed with my sister in Irvine,
Ky, last fall and one of the twelve
seniors in high school, but when l came
home Christmas l found mother so seriously
i'll that it was impossible for me to go
back. l regret not getting my dip
(although l have my class rins), but I
know my service to her is just as impor-
tant. l was seventeen January "a. Have
l twin? II so, write to me. l would
be glad to hear from any OF you. l have
noticed that most of you discuss some sub
ject, but I seem to have given all my time
on myself. With love,
