worth printing:
Speak the Truth
Speak it boldly, never fear
Speak it so that all can hear;
Truth is best in age and youth.
Truth is beautiful and brave,
Strong to bless and to save.
FalsehOod is a c0wardly knave;
From it turn thy steps in youth
Follow truth.
With love and best wishes to aunte and
cousins. All of you write. Your cousin.
