Dear Cousins.—l am a small boy, just ten
years old, and I am visiting my aunt- near
Shelby, Ga. She has a large farm and
there is a creek about a half a mile from
the house. My aunt will not let me go to
it by myself, but tny unde took me fishing
the other day, and I --njoyed it very much.
They have a beautiful little calf and he
is very tame, for when I call him he will
come and eat out of my hand.
I am going to return to my hftme, in
