"ED1NBURG, Va
Dear Sir:
happy there is one kind person to speak for
our birds and cats.
II wish to ask you whatever has become
of the swallows? I heard a man remark, I
like all birds but the swallows, I have no use
for them
II hadn't heard them even mentioned in
years. I am sure you have never written about
them since I have been reading The Star
"The other day, released grand daddy
longlegs from spider web.
ut seemed to me he walked away so joyously.
Could it have been possible?
Faithfully, H. E. c."
