Eangiwuhia. Dour Hub, —I am writing to you to (ell you what I am glad over. It is more a story, but I am glad. Oil .Saturday, Dad. Uuratura and I went down to the Qroua river to get a bull calf. Having done that, we reached the cliff, then we started down the steep track. We took our horses down the track because when we arrived vve could nui cross the river. When we arrived we had some time to cat. Now wo decided to start. First of all vve crossed a deep river, which touched our feet. We crossed the river a number of times. When we were coming back vve saw a beautiful waterfall. AVheu vve had to come home vve were very sorry, Hub. That is vvhat I am glad about. Your loving Cog, Tul. A bright letter, Xui, and I enjoyed it ever so much. Sanson.

Dear Hub, —I have not written for u few weeks, bill I like to read the Cogs’ Page on a Saturday morning. Olt, Hub, I am so glad as everything seems to have a springlike appearance. The garden is scented with the many spring flowers. The japonieft has broken into blossom and makes a beautiful show with its dainty pink flowers. Even the birds are singing their sweet spring songs, while the little lambs frisk about the paddocks and tho calves also do the same. I am sure that this time of the year is most interesting because there are such a number of things that interest one. Well, Hub, I am sure you arc also pleased about spring for I suppose you see all the beautiful flowers around the city bursting into bud. With best love to you and the Cogs, Try-again Jean.
