Dear Friend:
I will tell you of a delightful walk
yesterday after school, Our teacher
took us to gather pine needles in the
woods back of the new hospital. It was
a lovely day, the sun was shining bright
ly, the birds were singing, and now and
and then a snake was seen crawling away.
We went along the road until we came
to a fence with a stile built over it. We
all climbed over the stile and went into
the adjacent woods.
The girls, rejoicing over their freedom,
ran aboutsome climbing trees and
stumps and others looking for flowers.
A few wood lilies were found and there
were plenty of spring beauties. Then
wre stripped pine needles for our teacher,
as she wanted them for a cushion.
' When the whistle blew we all went
to the road and had a delightful walk
home. The sun was setting and every
thing was fresh and green.
We all hope our teacher will take us
for another walk soon.
Your friend,
Viola Brown.
