! proved TO be. have received such an
| enormous supply Of letters that find it i'm
| possible to answer, but cousins, let me as
sure you that your letters were appreciated
| and l am also under obligations to dear Aunt
Julia for her Kindness in printing my other
letter. The reading | requested sent to
! me-in fact, l received several copies and
! certainly am proud of them. Some Of the
! cousins asked about my flowers. Last sum
mer | had lots OF geranums. some real
pretty ferns and three beautiful begonias.
| but the winter being so bitter cold lost
I everything. | have no flower house. only
/ have cellar to put them away in. I have
/ pretty rambler roses and one especially pref
/ ty monthly rose. Cousins, how many of you
Z love to tend to little chicks? ] sure do en-
joy working in the poultry yard. lint par

farming by this time. The crops are a little
/ late this year. ] don't think many Of the

Dearest Auntie and Cousins: am just
/ wondering If you will admit this lonesome
! But Auntie is so kind that l fully con
! vinced that she will / live in the village OF
/ PinAtta, which is located about four mil es
/ south OF the Georgia and Florida line in
/ mate. and farming is the chief industry
! around here. ] wish to say a few words
about ambition az haven't noticed any
( one using that az their subi ect. There are
{ bnt few ~ MS, ! will venture 10 say, who
actually realize the worth Of great snbi
I ton, but when stop 10 think. we know
no one has ever amounted to much who was
nor ambitious. I believe that a fine def
milton for the word ambition would he
ones real desire in life. though probably
Webster and disagree a little on this
! point. As one Of our poets expressed II. ].
myself enjoy building air "astles'' To be
ambitious q person doesn't have TO wish and
! work for some high office the like. for
I think that a good farmer is one Of the
most ambitious persons yet. Now, cousins,
with the above in mind. let's all be ambi-
tious, whether or not we ever reach the
height Of our ambitions. Now everybody
write to me for ] am anxious to make all
Of you nv pen friends if not PERSONAL 50
