Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1924-10-21


lately omplimenting our Letter BOX
on the Improvement in letters.
agree heartily with the writer's of
these complimentary letters. You
have improved vastly.
Instead of letters just filled with
descriptions of self, you are writing
about vour homes, your schools and
your ambitions.
In going over your letters ana
editing them, I make only such
changes as are necessary from a
grammatical standpoint, but I want
Won to read your letters when they
appear in the paper and see what
these graanstical changes are. You
will, I m sure, find this helpful.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dearest Auntie and Cousins; May I
| come in for a little chat this very lonely,
to stay long, for ] do not wish to urea
any of Aunt Julias rules. Auntie, 1t IS
