Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1924-04-01


Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: I en-
joyed my last visit so well [ want to come
in again. VIII you admit me? Have YOU
forgotten me? I hope not. No, I hadn't
told the Cousins goodbye. 1 was ust
dreaming while.
The happy Xmas days are past and gone;
the year 1923 and its deeds both good and
bad, are in the history of the past, and
now we have a new year with it's pages
pure and white for us to write upon. Now,
shall we blot it up with bad deeds or will
we keep n nice. clear record for the year
1924 1 sincerely hope we will all strive
to make this the happiest and brightest of
any of our past years.
Aunt Julia, words are inadequate to
press my appreciation for printing my
other letter. I received many nice letters,
which were appreciated to the fullest ex-
tent. Jewell Harlin from Waverly Hall,
GA, we don't live so far apart. 1 had the
pleasure of riding through Waverly Hall
not so very long ago.
AS I see some Of the Cousins describing
their ideal bubbles, 80 here is my mental
picture of my ideal future husband: He
must be broad-minded, able to sit down
with me and talk over business matters,
intelligent enough to carry nan interest
ing conversation. clean-minded and honest.
He must be a Christian, and may belong to
any church. for l believe all good people
will get to heaven, regardless Of what de-
nomination they belong to. He should be
a manly man, Industrious, of loving dispo-
sition and sympathetic. He must not drink,
swear, smoke, and must have large brown
eyes and curly hair. He should weigh
mewbere between 100 and $50 pounds, and
; feet : inches tall. Ny ideal hubby should
he willing TO talk over all things relating
10 our future life. BY so doing we may
learn to appreciate and respect each other
more, for respect Is the wonderful keynote
OF love- We should understand each other
perfectly before marriage. so that We both
may work toward the same goal in life.
Come on Cousin Werner Cain, and tell us
about your ideal girl.
Doubtless the congregation is bored to
tears, I will be reasonable and make
| things snappy. Lots Of love.
