Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please let
me in this cool day. We have been taking
The Journal for about four years, my step
father taking it first, now / am taking
it myself. If l were to take asubject it
would be on kindness Everyone should be
kind to everybody 4 kind word and pleas
ant voice are gifts easy to give; kindness
makes the lullaby sweeter than the song of
the lark. Kind words don't cost anything,
only requires stronger desire to do good
than evil. Sos any one can speak kind
word or do Kind deed. There is nothing
like kindness in the world. Hard words are
like hail stones. Kindness is stored away
in the heart like rose leaves in drawer
to sweeten every object around them.
"A little word in kindness sjoken,
A motion, or tear,
Has often healed the heart that's broken
And make friend incere."

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: We have not
been taking The Journal long, but like It
fine, especially Aunt Julia'S Council. We |
live on farm and like farm life fine as
we can mingle among the beauties of nature,
and we like spring better than any part of |
the year, but it surely is late coming this |
year. We have had only two or three warm
DAYS yet, and it showed the first day of |
April; but | guess we will have some pretty |
weather when spring does arrive. Well, l |
had better hush up, my letter is getting
long. / would like 10 hear from cousins
or cheap land. | am especially interested in |
southern Florida sincerely yours
