My Dear Mr Tolley:I have just been reading the dear

old County Record, which is indeeda treat to a poor homesick schoolgirl. It is something to which Ialways look forward with pleasurefrom week to week; for there are

but few things that I really enjoymore than reading my own homepaper, through and through and inand out. I enjoy every bit of it,and never slight even the advertisements.Now, since this dear paper means

so much to me, I feel that I wouldlike, in a small measure, to show my Iappreciation by writing a shortnews letter about the college andour work here, to The Record once

or twice a month; that is, if you ,

think my letters are worth printingand can allow me the space in your ^paper.Hoping to hear from you soon, j

I remain,Very sincerely yours,

Jennie Lee Epps. r
