I have no more news, so I think I will close with much love from your new friend, Molly Enright, Bush Siding. n§y> (Thank you for stamps, Molly dear, but I won't send your badge till I'm sure of your address. Is "Bush Siding" quite a full address ?Anne.) Dear Anne, I was pleased to see my last letter in print. I received a letter from Moira O'Neill. I enclose sixpence in stamps for . a badge. I received a prize at school and the name of it is Stories from Tennyson. Here is a riddle Anne, "what is it that has fingers yet no flesh nor bones?" We have no garden in this year but hope to get one in. Well dear Anne, as news is so scarce I will close. Yours faithfully, Eileen Keane, Clyde.

Dear Anne, I am enclosing 7d in stamps —6d for a badge, and Id for postage. I was away in Queenstown for nearly two months and I had a good time. I had my birthday while there, and my aunt gave me a fine treat. We had lots of nice things to eat, and a big iced cake, round which Mona had put nine candlesone for each year, as I was nine that day. I have a little black and white calf. As it was born on my birthday we call it E.P. My uncle in England sent me a book of Limericks. I wish you could see it Anne, some of them are very funny. We have two dear little kittensa grey one called "Tiger" (he is my pet) and a black-and-yellow one called "Spitfire," which is Tom's pet. Yours truly, Edmund P. Lynch, Woodside, West Taieri.
