Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; Will you
admit two Georgia girls into your happy
band Of boys and girls this rainy after
noon? We truly hope Aunt Julia will be
kind enough to let us in a wee bit. Oh, we
knew you would. We thank you so much for
that Minnie wrote to the Letter Box and
wants to thank Aunt Julia for printing her
other letter. She received SO many nice
letters from the cousins and enjoyed them
all to the greatest extent, and she has
been very busy with school work, has not
been able to answer all, so all you cousins
that wrote and did not receive an answer,
please take this as a personal enc and write
again. She will answer next time. She has
favor to ask. Will some one send the
song, You've Got to See Mamma Every
Night?" The favor will be returned in any
way we can. Who has our birthdays?
Annfes is July 10 and Minnie's, June 8,
Have we twins? We will leave our oges
for you to guess. Minnie is older than
Annie. Our ages are between IS and Is.
We see most of the cousins take subjects.
So, since we can say more for Mother"
wen Say 1t ana go.
MOTHER
Never put off till tomorrow
What you can do for your mother today!
| There may be no morrow for her
She may have passed away,
Give her pleasure now and then:
Some little wish that she may crave
Will be better than all the flowers
you'll buy to plant upon her grave.
Then when she at last has gone
To her eternal rest,
How glad you'll be if you can say:
'For mother I did my best"
We know our letter is getting long. We
are expecting a letter from all of you. Love
and best wishes to Auntie and all the
cousins.
