Hello. Aunt Julia, VIII you please admit
two jolly North Carolina girls into your
merry circle? We have been reading the
nice letters in the dear old Journal for
long time and we think they are just fine.
We, like most of the other cousins live on
a farm, and like farm life all right, We are
lovers of flowers and outdoor sports.
Auntie, we are sending You. little piece
of poetry. We think it is very pretty:
Live for something, have purpose
And that purpose keep in view.
Drifting like heImless vessel,
Thou canst ne'er to life be true.
Half the wrecks that strew life's ocean,
If some star had been their guide,
Might now be riding safely,
But they drfted with the tide"
We will he going now, and if any of you
cousins care to correspond with two jolly
North Carolina Girls let Your letters come TO
