Julia, and then [ couldn't help tell
ing them who I was. They were
mighty nice, went back and asked
a man to drive to phone for me
and asked the garage man to come
out. Then they gave me some
peaches and we had a pleasant talk,
that kept the wait from seeming so
long. These boys were named Davis
and Harris and l hope they will
write to US soon.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please
open the door and let little girl from oil
Mississippi step in from the heat of the
desert sun. | have been reading the cous-
ms letters, and surely do enjoy them, but
have never been able to sum up courage
enough to write myself, as | am not strong
on writing. ] want to talk with you and
get acquainted with the cousins Perhaps
writing will be easier if 1 once get started
L notice that most of the cousins describe
themselves and their country, but really nj
afraid l can't do justice to myself or my
country, because 1 SO homely and the
country is so beautiful. l live on a farm
and like farm life fine: we are three miles
from the main line Of highway, on a crooked
country road right among the hills of old
Mississippi; here we have fine climate,
and farming is the chief industry. Now [
guess l might as well give you little idea
of myself: My age is between 16 and 20:
have golden hair and blue eyes. l will
try to tell more TO all that are interested
enough to write me-and would be glad to
hear from all the cousins. | will promise
to answer all letters [ receive. Now,
Auntie, please print this and Ill promise
not to worry you again in a long long
tme-perhaps, never.
Your niece and cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Well, here
| am again, knocking for admittance l am
very lonesome here as mother has gone away
and 1T rained so hard that there is no more
work this forenoon to be done. l have no.
ticed that most of the cousins have taken
topics but let me tell you about this won
dertul section Of the state where l live. We
i've IN good farming country surrounded
by the Finger lakes. In this region wheat,
beans, apples and fruit grapes and vegeta-
bles are raised and shipped for city peoples
needs. The Finger lake region is called the
switzerland of America because of its beau
ty. The historic sites are numerous Barc
Hill, which is only about five miles from
here, is large hill with large spot on its
top which tradition says was caused by a
serpent rolling from there to the lake of
Canadalgua. Lafayette Elm which is at
Geneva, is one of the honored trees of the u
5. A. because records tells US that Lafalette
dismounted and stopped the army and rested
back in some woods, were three hugs rocks
with holes dug out at regular distances The
fact is told that Indians used to cook their
meat in these holes. Only one of these rocks
now remain standing. There are so many
things of interest about this country that it
would take too long to tell them | will
try ana answer all letters and cards received
With love to all,
